[3] Stephen Crawford Young Jr was born 11 December 1956 in Glasgow, Scotland.

[13] The connection to AC/DC goes back to the 1960s where Young, Angus, and Malcolm attended the same school while growing up in Sydney.

[14] Coincidentally, Starfighters was also the name of a Dutch band of AC/DC co-producer Harry Vanda, before his family moved to Australia.

Many fans were not even aware that Malcolm had been replaced, because Young bore a physical resemblance (at the time) to him.

In July 2014, AC/DC's Brian Johnson confirmed that Young had recorded with the band for their upcoming album Rock or Bust, again replacing his ill uncle Malcolm.

[20] It was revealed in a Rolling Stone interview that Young had been recruited by Angus as far back as January 2014, before contact had been made with other band members.

[21] Young was involved with AC/DC's 2020 follow-up album, Power Up in which he once again performed rhythm guitar and backing vocals.

[citation needed] Young has played a selection of Gretsch Jet Firebirds throughout his career.

His first was a black, left-handed Firebird which was modified with an additional set of half-moon fret inlays on the fingerboard, and had the neck pick-up removed.
