The funeral for AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young will be held on Tuesday, November 28 at St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney, Australia. According to News.com.au, it will be held at 11 a.m. on the same day as the annual celebration of Australian music, the ARIA Awards.

 
Malcolm, who co-founded AC/DC with his brother Angus in 1973, died on Saturday (November 18) at the age of 64 after suffering from dementia and failing health for several years.
 
Malcolm retired from AC/DC in 2014 after his health issues were made public.
 
Artists around the world have continued to pay tribute to Malcolm in the wake of his passing, with GUNS N' ROSES and FOO FIGHTERS both performing AC/DC songs in recent days to memorialize the fallen guitarist.
 
Malcolm and Angus's older brother George, a member of 'Friday On My Mind' pop act THE EASYBEATS and co-producer of many of AC/DC's now-classic early albums, preceded Malcolm in death last month at the age of 70.
 
Malcolm was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1953 and moved with his family to Australia 10 years later. He formed AC/DC in 1973 with Angus and led the band until his retirement, playing on every album except 'Rock Or Bust'. He and Angus are co-credited with every song in the AC/DC catalog.
