Australian rock band AC/DC is set to announce their retirement, media reports say.
Entertainment reporter Peter Ford told Melbourne radio station 3AW on Monday that the band many never perform or record again.
Perth radio 6PR said the split was the result of illness, amid speculation that Malcolm Young was unwell.
Ford later tweeted that more details on the split would emerge shortly.
The rumour mill extended soon after to adding that this was due to a terminal illness.
