AC/DC Drummer Charged With "Attempting To Procure A Murder"

Update: while the drug charges and the charge of "threatening to kill" remain, the charge of procuring murder has now been dropped - 24 hours later. Read the full update at this location.

AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd allegedly tried to have two men killed. He appeared in the Tauranga District Court this afternoon, charged with attempting to procure a murder.

According to a report by Stuff.co.nz, the 60-year-old rock drummer’s home in New Zealand was raided Thursday morning (Nov. 6), and he was also charged with possession of meth and cannabis, as well as "threatening to kill."

Rudd appeared in Tauranga District Court in New Zealand on Thursday afternoon and did not enter a plea to the charges.

He allegedly tried to hire a hit man to murder two men. Rudd is currently out on bail and has been ordered to not have any contact with the man he apparently tried to hire to carry out the killings. He faces up to 10 years in prison, and is scheduled for a court hearing on Nov. 27.

A video report showing Rudd in court can be seen below.

I hope Phil keeps a “Stiff Upper Lip”. I wonder who the “Squealer” was that alerted the authorities to the “Guns for Hire”. I bet the intended targets feel lucky this was stopped before he could “Send for the Man” and “Gone Shootin’ “. The hitman won’t be asking “Gimme a Bullet” anytime soon. I hope Phil’s “Miss Adventure” doesn’t end up with him getting a “Live Wire” of “High Voltage” at the “Flick of the Switch”. If so, I’d pray for a “Jailbreak”.
I’d be curious to know what the victims did to provoke Phil into an “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)” frenzy. It makes you wonder why some people get a “Meanstreak” to do the “Bad Boy Boogie”. Maybe they were a “Problem Child”, maybe “Some Sin for Nuthin” or enjoy the “Shoot to Thrill”. I guess the “Highway to Hell” is not a “Danger” if you think that “Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be”. But, if you’re going to “Ride On” that path “Rocking All the Way” thinking “You Ain’t Got a Hold on Me”, don’t be surprised if you “Get Caught with Your Pants Down”. Just goes to show that “Money Talks” and “Evil Walks”.
