AC/DC Drummer Rearrested During House Detention While Reportedly Hanging Out With Prostitutes

Is 61 years old too old to maintain a profoundly consistent rock & roll lifestyle so egregious it risks undermining the lineage of such behavior's historical association with an increasingly outmoded genre of low-key dad rock? For estranged AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd, the answer is a firmly spoken no.

Less than two weeks ago, Rudd was sentenced to eight months of home detention after he admitted to threatening to kill a (now former) employee. At the time of sentencing, judge Thomas Ingram attempted to convey the severity of Rudd's sentencing and the drummer's desperate need for an overhaul of his entire life. "Queen replaced Freddie Mercury," Ingram told Rudd. "AC/DC are still going on without you. Your place in the band for the moment does not exist, and will not exist until you address your addiction issues."

Unfortunately, Rudd appears to have taken absolutely none of that to heart — as he was just rearrested at his home in New Zealand for currently unspecified reasons. According to the New Zealand Herald, a number of prostitutes "were present at Rudd's home at the time of his arrest." Rudd is expected to appear in the Tauranga District Court on Monday.
