Malcolm Young, who co-founded the hard rock band AC/DC with his younger brother, has died aged 64.
The guitarist - described as a "visionary, a perfectionist and a unique man" - had been suffering from dementia for several years.
In a statement, AC/DC said: "With enormous dedication and commitment he was the driving force behind the band.
"As a guitarist, songwriter and visionary he was a perfectionist and a unique man. He always stuck to his guns and did and said exactly what he wanted.
"He took great pride in all that he endeavoured. His loyalty to the fans was unsurpassed."
Angus Young, Malcolm's brother and fellow AC/DC co-founder, added: "It is hard to express in words what he has meant to me during my life, the bond we had was unique and very special.
"He leaves behind an enormous legacy that will live on forever.
"Malcolm, job well done."
