Biography,Born to Lithuanian parents on 19 May 1954, in Melbourne, Rudd began playing drums in his teens and became quite serious about pursuing a career in music. He played in several bands in Melbourne before joining Buster Brown with future Rose Tattoo vocalist Angry Anderson. They went on to release one album, Something To Say, in 1974, before Rudd left to join the Coloured Balls with Lobby Loyde.In 1974 Rudd was told about AC/DCs rhythm section auditions by his former Coloured Balls bandmate Trevor Young (no relation to AC/DCs Young brothers). Rudd asked Buster Brown bassist Geordie Leach to accompany him to the auditions, but Leach refused due to other commitments. Rudd auditioned and was hired immediately. Rudds drumming style suited the bands style of music and became an integral part of AC/DCs sound from 1975 to 1983. The band relocated to the United Kingdom in 1976 and followed a heavy schedule of international touring and recording.Leaving AC/DCIn 1980, AC/DCs vocalist Bon Scott died. The band continued on, recruiting new vocalist Brian Johnson and subsequently recording their most successful album, 1980s Back in Black. Good friends, Rudd took Scotts death badly, but continued on with AC/DC until he left the band during the recording of the Flick of the Switch album in 1983. Rudd had completed his contributions to the album, and although session drummer B.J. Wilson was recruited to help complete the recording, Wilsons drum parts were ultimately not used. Simon Wright was soon hired as Rudds permanent replacement, and featured in the videos that accompanied the singles released from the album.Rudds 1983 sacking from AC/DC was partly the result of his own personal problems as well as a conflict with the bands rhythm guitarist and founder Malcolm Young, which allegedly escalated to become physical. Following his firing, Rudd retired to Tauranga, New Zealand where he purchased a helicopter company. Rudds departure from AC/DC didnt become widely known until the eve of their North American tour in 1983. In the last few pages of Circus Magazines October 1983 edition it stated Phil Rudd exits AC/DC…to spend more time with his family and his cars. Guitarist Angus Young was quoted in the same article as saying Were a rowdy bunch, but we dont fight with each other. Vocalist Brian Johnson added in a Hit Parader interview from the same period that You couldnt find a more solid person or drummer than Phil Rudd. None of us would have to work if we didnt want to….Phil chose that option.[11]On his years away from AC/DC, Rudd has said, I raced cars, flew helicopters, became a farmer and planted some crops. I lived in New Zealand which was great, nice and quiet with nobody bothering me. Rudd also continued to play drums, when I wanted to rather than when I had to, and built his own recording studio.He married a New Zealand woman named Lisa OBrien, with whom he has five children, the pair separated in 2006.[12][13]Rejoining AC/DCRudd performing live with AC/DC in 1995Phil Rudd with AC/DC on 23 November 2008 in St. Paul, MinnesotaWhen AC/DC toured New Zealand in 1991 in support of their Razors Edge album, they called Rudd to see if he would be interested in joining them for a casual jam session. Rudd accepted their offer. Though there was no discussion of him rejoining the group at the time, Rudd would be invited to permanently rejoin AC/DC in late 1993 following the recording of the Big Gun single for the Last Action Hero movie soundtrack.AC/DC welcomed Rudd back following Chris Slades term as the bands drummer. The band praised Slade for his performance and technical ability, but maintained that a certain groove had been missing from AC/DCs music since Rudds departure in 1983. Since rejoining the band, he has performed on four AC/DC studio albums, Ballbreaker, Stiff Upper Lip, Black Ice, and Rock or Bust, with Black Ice being the bands biggest hit on the charts since For Those About to Rock We Salute You in 1981.Solo albumRudds first solo album, Head Job, was released on 29 August 2014. New Zealand musicians Allan Badger (bass guitar and vocals) and Geoffrey Martin (guitar) performed on the album alongside Rudd.[14]Recent eventsDrug conviction and appealOn 1 December 2010, Rudd was convicted of possessing 25g of marijuana on his boat in Tauranga, New Zealand,[15] but later had his cannabis conviction quashed on the grounds that it would have stopped him from continuing to tour with AC/DC.[16]RestaurantOn 30 July 2011, it was announced that the drummer had purchased and would open a marina restaurant at Bridge Marina in Tauranga, where he resides. He named it Phils Place, and planned on selling seafood and top-quality steak.[17] The restaurant closed temporarily in July 2012, and reopened on 10 April 2013.[18] In 2014 Rudd was ordered to pay more than $70,000 to three former employees for unjustified dismissal.[19]Threatening to kill and drug chargesOn 6 November 2014 Rudd was arrested and charged with attempting to procure a murder, threatening to kill, possession of methamphetamine and possession of cannabis, following a police raid on his home.[20][21] The charge of attempting to procure a murder was withdrawn the following day.[22] On 21 April 2015 he pleaded guilty to the remaining charges, with the exception of one of the two threatening to kill charges, which was dropped.[23]His ongoing legal problems led to the recruitment of AC/DCs former drummer Chris Slade in time for the bands Rock or Bust World Tour. In an interview on 13 November 2014, Angus Young had stated that AC/DC had experienced problems with Rudd earlier in the year when recording Rock or Bust, and that his situation had taken the band by surprise. Rudd had also missed video and photo shoots. Young said, Hes got to sort himself out I think… At this point its kind of a question mark. But if were touring, there will be a drummer in place, put it that way.[24] In the same interview, Young also said, Phil created his own situation. Its a hard thing to say about the guy. Hes a great drummer, and hes done a lot of stuff for us. But he seems to have let himself go. Hes not the Phil weve known from the past.[25] In May 2015, Rudd stated that he hoped to return but claimed to have had no contact from the band, adding, Im sure theyre having a great old time… Ive seen the error of my ways… Its onward and upward from here.[26]On 9 July 2015, Rudd was sentenced to eight months home detention and ordered to pay NZ$120,000 in reparation. His appeal to be discharged without conviction was rejected.[27][28][29] A subsequent appeal of the sentence to the High Court was dismissed.[27][30] In a 2016 interview, Rudd said he was seeing a psychiatrist weekly and had given up the crazy shit. He also revealed he planned to tour Europe to promote his album Head Job.[31]Head Job European tour 2024Phil Rudd has signed an international deal with Alan Big Al Bellman and Simon Britton of Wave 365 Media, and will tour Europe in 2024.[32] Joining Rudd, Badger and Martin for the tour will be British bass guitarist John Proctor and New Zealand guitarist Mike Mutt Furness. The bands name is yet to be announced.[33] The tour will start in Oslo, Norway on 31 March, and will visit Sweden, the UK, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
