The sentencing of AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd has been delayed by two weeks.
Rudd was due to be sentenced on June 26 after pleading guilty to one count of threatening to kill, possession of methamphetamine and possession of cannabis.
However, the 60-year-old's sentencing will now take place on July 9, according to New Zealand website Sun Media.
Rudd is facing jail time for his crimes but if he does escape a prison sentence, he won't be playing with AC/DC, even when they tour his home country of New Zealand.
Gary Van Egmond, manager for the group, recently confirmed to the Bay of Plenty Times that Rudd would not be behind the drumkit even when AC/DC hits New Zealand's shores.
"Chris Slade will be on drums - he replaced Phil when he left the band some years back and he has been playing in the Rock or Bust tour worldwide," Egmond said.
Egmond would not go as far as to say that Rudd was no longer a member, saying there was "no confirmation that Phil has left the band permanently. All I can say is that Phil will not be playing in the New Zealand concerts."
