action Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) I was wondering when he'll get rid of the chair. It's been nearly six weeks since the injury, in principal enough time to heal the foot. Have there been any updates on this subject that I missed? Do you think he will risk standing on stage before the end of the current AXL/DC tour? I can imagine he won't be able to run around much even when he can loose the plaster. Edited May 11, 2016 by action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexAxl Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 In Sevilla he was able to walk without crutches while shopping, but i think that interview in Lisbon he said he is just halfway there so that don't looks foot will be 100% healed soon.

Half way to full recovery, or half way to foot is healed...that wasn't specified, I think he meant half way to recovery as far as being able to move on stage again... Also injury are a lottery, they can heal quicker for some than others, if Axl is generally quite healthy, he'll be back sooner than we think...I saw the London show in June we'll see him moving...He's not gonna do the whole AC/DC tour without getting some Angus chemistry going at least once or twice if he can!

GNRfan2008 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 May 7th was essentially 5 weeks and he said he was halfway to recovery. So tack on another 5 weeks and it would be around June 11th. That would be right at the end of the tour with only one gig left on June 12th. We'll see, maybe he will be out of the boot sooner than that.

t-p-d-a Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 the problem is the age. He is not 20 anymore. It heals more slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he will be, if he can do some light walking now he should be ok by then. I hope he hasn't become reliant on the chair though. He's singing the best he has for years on that damn thing, might be psychologically challenging to go back to standing up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDemocracyRose Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 If he can stand up and walk around in the street. I guess he can stand up on stage very soon. At least in some songs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseIRS Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I hope at some point he can at least get a boot like on the UYI tour so he can move around a bit. I mean if they had the technology back then to come up with something im sure they can today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderram Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) You gotta consider the inactivity as well. While he may be able to move around soon, he'll also get fatigued quite quickly which would greatly affect his vocal performance. So I wouldn't expect much or any movement during any of the remaining AC/DC gigs. Edited May 11, 2016 by thunderram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in some songs... He walks with some difficulty, though. And probably he didn't walk that much. A show is a whole different thing. Not only he has to walk, but move, dance... for 2 hours straight!... Not sure he's at that point right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Archer Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) If he sings this well while he's on a chair, I really don't care that much about him leaving it. Running around like a manic teenager is less important to me than sounding like the devil himself on Hells Bells.

IncitingChaos Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I think in a week or two he could be out of the boot and moving on stage. It's going to require some athletic tape to secure the foot and ankle since the muscles will generally weaken after weeks of inactivity, but yea I'm two weeks it would likely be pain free so it's possible but with the schedule Axl has made for himself this year it wouldn't surprise me to see him let it heal past the required time to insure he won't have a setback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ak1nney Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I honestly think AC/DC will want to put out a dvd/blu ray of this, so I fully expect a show without a boot so that it can be filmed. Maybe they will put out a blu ray set with 2 shows. One with Brian and one with Axl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
