Everyone knows that Muse are one of the most reliably impressive live acts around, and their Reading Festival 2017 gig didn't disappoint.

The band have covered AC/DC's classic 'Back in Black' live before, but yesterday (August 27), they brought out a very special guest ― former AC/DC singer Brian Johnson!

Johnson killed it, as you would expect, and lucky for us, a Muse fan page has uploaded broadcast from the show (although it's slightly out of sync):

Following the gig, Muse tweeted: "Such an honor to have the legendary Brian Johnson join us onstage at Reading Festival last night. Thanks so much Brian!"

Last year, Johnson had to stop performing with AC/DC when doctors told him he had to step away from live performances altogether or risk losing his hearing completely.

The band has carried on with guest vocalists, including Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose and, obviously, Johnson hasn't totally given up on performing.

What to Read Next

Reading Festival got another special guest star over the weekend, as none other than hip-hop star Drake appeared to help out fellow rapper Giggs.

Security at festivals has been a big topic of discussion this year. Glastonbury increased its security in the wake of recent terror attacks, and asked festival-goers to pack lightly due to increased bag searches.

It's also been announced that festivals could start testing the drugs people bring onto sites, to reduce the risk of drug-related deaths.
