Although the band is commonly classified as hard rock and are considered a pioneer of heavy metal, they have always classified their music as rock and roll.

<p><b>AC/DC</b> is an Australian rock band, formed in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young. Although the band is commonly classified as hard rock and are considered a pioneer of heavy metal, they have always classified their music as rock and roll. To date they are one of the highest grossing bands of all time. AC/DC underwent several line-up changes before releasing their first album, <i>High Voltage</i>, in 1975. Membership remained stable until bassist Mark Evans was replaced by Cliff Williams in 1978 for the album <i>Powerage</i>. Within months of recording the album <i>Highway to Hell</i>, lead singer and co-songwriter Bon Scott died on 19 February 1980, after a night of heavy alcohol consumption. The group briefly considered disbanding, but Scott&#8217;s parents urged them to continue and hire a new vocalist. Ex-Geordie singer Brian Johnson was auditioned and selected to replace Scott. Later that year, the band released their highest selling album, <i>Back in Black</i>.</p>
<p> <span id="more-5937"></span>
<p>The band&#8217;s next album, <i>For Those About to Rock We Salute You</i>, was their first album to reach number one in the United States. AC/DC declined in popularity soon after drummer Phil Rudd was fired in 1983 and was replaced by future Dio drummer Simon Wright, though the band resurged in the early 1990s with the release of <i>The Razor&#8217;s Edge</i>. Phil Rudd returned in 1994 (after Chris Slade, who was with the band from 1990–1994, was asked to leave in favour of him) and contributed to the band&#8217;s 1995 album <i>Ballbreaker</i>. <i>Stiff Upper Lip</i> was released in 2000 and was well received by critics. Since then, the band has stayed the same with the 1980-1983 lineup. The band&#8217;s next album, <i>Black Ice</i>, was released on 20 October 2008. It was their biggest hit on the charts since &quot;For Those About to Rock&quot;, reaching #1 on all the charts eventually. AC/DC&#8217;s newest album, <i>Iron Man 2</i> , soundtrack to the film, was released on April 19, 2010.</p>
<p>As of 2008, AC/DC have sold more than 200 million albums worldwide, including 71 million albums in the United States. <i>Back in Black</i> has sold an estimated 49 million units worldwide, making it the highest-selling album by any band and the 2nd highest-selling album in history, behind <i>Thriller</i> by Michael Jackson. The album has sold 22 million in the US alone, where it is the fifth-highest-selling album. AC/DC ranked fourth on VH1&#8242;s list of the &quot;100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock&quot; and was named the seventh &quot;Greatest Heavy Metal Band of All Time&quot; by MTV. In 2004, the band was ranked number 72 in the <i>Rolling Stone</i> list of the &quot;100 Greatest Artists of All Time&quot;.</p>

<p>Still signed to Capitol, he made his solo American debut in 1999 with the album <i>Keith Urban</i>.

This album was re-released a year later as <i>Greatest Hits: 19 Kids</i> with one track added: the number one &quot;You Look Good in My Shirt&quot;, which he had previously recorded on <i>Golden Road</i>. Urban&#8217;s latest work, <i>Defying Gravity</i> was released in March 2009.

The album, and its first single, &quot;Scar&quot; both went to No. 1 on the relevant Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Charts. Its second single, &quot;The Special Two&quot;, went to No. 2. Higgins was nominated for five ARIA Music Awards that year and won &#8216;Best Pop Release&#8217; for &quot;Scar&quot;.

Alongside her music career, Higgins pursues interests in animal rights and the environment, endeavouring to make her tours carbon neutral. She is also the patron of One in Five, an Australian mental health charity. In 2007, following years of press speculation about her sexual orientation, she came out as bisexual, saying that she prefers interviewers to focus on her music. In 2010 she made her acting debut in feature <i>Bran Nue Dae</i>, and performed on the related soundtrack.</p>

In a 2002 interview, he admitted that his pay for a single episode of <i>The Amazing Race</i> is more than an entire year on <i>Spot On</i>.</p>
<p>According to his book, <i>No Opportunity Wasted</i>, Keoghan set out to live his life to the fullest by accomplishing exotic goals and taking risks after a near-death experience at the age of 19. Since then, he&#8217;s broken a world bungee jumping record, gone diving in the world&#8217;s longest underwater caves, eaten a meal on top of an erupting volcano, and renewed his vows underwater. He was a guest on <i>The Oprah Winfrey Show</i>, where he shared with Oprah his list of things he wants to do before he dies. The focus of many of his shows is helping others live their lives to the fullest.</p>
<p>From March 28 to May 9, 2009, Keoghan performed a &quot;Ride Across America&quot;, in partnership with several organizations including GNC to raise money for Multiple sclerosis research. Keoghan and others biked 3,500 miles from Los Angeles to New York City, averaging 100 miles per day and stopped in 39 cities en route during which Keoghan attended events and participated in casting selections for the 15th cycle of <i>The Amazing Race</i>. The ride culminated a day before the finale of the 14th season of <i>The Amazing Race</i>. The event raised $500,000, with over $400,000 coming from in-store donations during the ride.</p>
<p>Keoghan has hosted over 1,000 different programme episodes.</p>
<p>In June 2010, it was announced that Keoghan would host and produce a new reality series about the VELUX 5 Oceans Race.</p>
<p>He just finished filming the 17th installment of <i>The Amazing Race</i> which will premiere on September 26, 2010 worldwide.</p>
