NPR Reports: One of the founding members of AC/DC, among the best-selling bands in recorded music history, died Saturday. Guitarist and songwriter Malcolm Young was 64 years old. Young's family, which announced his death in a statement, noted that he had suffered from dementia for several years. The place of his death was not shared, though the statement mentioned that he "passed away peacefully with his family by his bedside."

    From the reports I've run across, Angus stated that Malcolm was showing signs of serious memory issues when working on their 2008 album, but apparently wasn't affected enough to require care until he had a stroke in 2014 that totally obliterated his short-term memory.
