AC/DC posed as airport security to prank Guns n' Roses

Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan tweeted: "Told we had to stay on plane last night in Sydney; 'airport security' wanted to do a check. We waited. It was Angus Young in an orange vest! (sic)"

But Angus also gave his friends a pleasant welcome to the country with a pretty bouquet of flowers.

Lebeis Fernando, a member of GNR's management team, posted a picture of the gift, which was accompanied by a 'Welcome to Sydney!' card signed by the 'Highway to Hell' rocker and his wife Ella.

He added the caption: "I have missed these two, Angus and Ella. AC/DC Family."

The two bands have grown closer after Axl Rose replaced Brian Johnson in AC/DC after the rocker was ordered to stop performing live in order to save his hearing.

Meanwhile, earlier this week, Brian thanked AC/DC's fans for raising funds in honour of former member Malcolm Young, who left the band as he has been stricken with Alzheimers disease.

Brian said: "I just want to say, I'm so proud of what you're doing for the Alzheimer dementia research. As you know we have a wounded soldier, Malcolm and I think what you're doing to raise the awareness of everyone about this dreadful disease is just absolutely fabulous.

"I know Malcolm would be so proud of you. I am and I want to thank you for doing this. We've tried to tell people about this awful disease, tried to get a cure for it. You guys are helping and I'm so proud of you."
