Wellington (AFP) - AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd will stand trial in April on charges of threatening to kill and drug possession, court officials in New Zealand ruled Monday.

Rudd, 60, will face a judge-alone trial in the Tauranga District Court beginning on April 21, officials said.

The veteran rocker has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which stem from a police raid on his waterfront North Island mansion on November 6.

He was also initially charged with "attempting to procure murder", but it was dropped after prosecutors decided there was insufficient evidence to proceed.

The case has left Rudd's position with the top-selling band in doubt, with drummer Chris Slade replacing him Sunday for a performance at the Grammys in Los Angeles.

Chris Slade isn’t fit to carry Phil Rudd’s stick bag.

Angus and Brian get the spotlight but AC/DC’s enduring, primal appeal came from Phil and Malcolm. Malcolm, sadly, is done.

I know nothing about ACDC but the legend of how they got their name.

Interesting story to follow on Rudd, here.
