AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd sentenced to 8 months home detention after threatening to kill ex-employee

There will be no 'Jailbreak' for AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd.  

The Aussie rocker was sentenced to eight months of home detention after Rudd pleaded guilty to threatening to kill his former personal assistantand drug possession charges in New Zealand court on Thursday. Rudd, 61, dodged serious prison time - he faced up to seven years - but Tauranga District Court Judge Thomas Ingram said Rudd had a limited criminal history and posed a low risk of reoffending, Radio New Zealand reported.

AC/DC went on a 55-show concert tour in May without Rudd, promoting their 2014 album 'Rock or Bust.' Welsh drummer Chris Slade has taken his place. But Rudd's house arrest will be in style. He'll serve it wearing a GPS monitor from his beachfront home in Tauranga, New Zealand.
