Yikes. As if the band hasn't been through enough lately, now this. Wonder who the target was?

AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd has been charged in New Zealand with attempting to procure a murder, threatening to kill and drugs charges.

It is understood the 60-year-old was the subject of a raid on the North Island on Thursday morning.

Police say a man has been arrested and will appear in Tauranga District Court in the afternoon.

He had been charged with attempting to procure a murder, threatening to kill and possession of methamphetamine and cannabis, a spokeswoman said.

Kim Dotcom for stealing and distributing his copyrighted music? He is the size of two men.

Was he looking for dirty deeds, done dirt cheap?

A haggard looking 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 (according to local journalist Tony Wall), and is scheduled for a court hearing on Nov. 27.

Please save me a seat next to you. I really shouldn't have laughed at that, but I did.

He's been messed up for years. I knew there must have been a reason he was missing from their video shoot and their promo pictures.

I'm starting to wonder if he was even in Vancouver this summer recording with the band. But yeah, when he missed the photo and video shoots I thought that was very strange.

Anyways:
