The Drummer and A Hitman

Rock stars are often associated with wild tales, but some stories veer into the realm of criminality. The saga of AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd is a prime example. While the specifics of the incident have been shrouded in secrecy, Rudd found himself facing serious charges including attempting to hire a hitman, threatening another individual’s life, and being in possession of methamphetamine. The alleged targets of Rudd’s sinister plot were reportedly a contractor and his daughter, for whom he purportedly offered a substantial sum of money and even a sports car to execute the deed. Despite Rudd’s fame as a renowned musician, the law did not exempt him from accountability. Upon pleading guilty, he was sentenced to eight months of house arrest. This unsettling episode serves as a stark reminder that fame does not shield individuals from the consequences of their actions. It also underscores the complexities and sometimes darker realities of life behind the glitz and glamour of the rock and roll world.
