Cliff Williams and Brian Johnson delighted fans Friday when they left their room at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills to sign autographs.
Dressed entirely in black, the AC/DC duo walked straight up to a group of gentlemen carrying stacks of old rock records recorded by the Australian rock band.

Dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans with a jacket for boots, 75-year-old singer-songwriter Brian soon joined the group and had a cheerful chat with his fanatics.
Cliff and Brian were spotted leaving their hotel in California around noon before being roped in to sign merchandise.

Formed in Sydney in 1973, the current line-up of AC/DC consists of Brian, 68-year-old guitarist Angus Young, Stevie Young, his cousin, on rhythm guitar, Phil Rudd on drums and bassist Cliff.
Brothers Malcolm and Angus Young started the band and quickly rose to fame with lead singer Bon Scott.
The band produced a string of hits, including It’s a Long Way to the Top (if You Wanna Rock and Rock), Highway to Hell and Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap).
After Bon’s death from acute alcohol poisoning at the age of 33 in 1980, British-born Brian was hired to replace him.
