He is known for his wild antics and dressing as a schoolboy on stage.

But when he's not behind an electric guitar, AC/DC legend Angus Young cannot disguise his pint-sized frame and on Saturday the 60-year-old looked every inch his height.

The 5ft 2ins Scottish-born Australian was almost unrecognisable as he strolled around fashionable Duesseldorf, in western Germany, on Saturday.

The long and short of it: AC/DC legend Angus Young looked every inch his diminutive frame beside his lofty bouncer as they strolled around Duesseldorf, Germany, on Saturday

Dressed in a baggy white T-shirt that was almost too long for his frame and faded jeans and Converse, Angus was a shadow of his former self.

The ageing rocker took a break from his bandmates who are all staying at the five-star Breidenbacher Hof hotel as they continue their world tour.

And when eagle-eyed fans raced towards him pleading for autographs, the ever-obliging star stopped to chat.

Legend: Dressed in a baggy white T-shirt that was almost too long for his frame, Angus was almost unrecognisable

The Sydney-based Angus, who is teetotal, has been with the Australian band since he and his brother Malcolm set it up in November 1973.

The rockjers are currently in the middle of their world tour having played a number of dates across Europe already; including France, Holland and Austria.

AC/DC sold 1.75 million tickets for the European leg of the Rock or Bust tour in just 24 hours.

Moving around: The performer, known for dressing as a schoolboy on stage, will head to North America for shows in August through to September

Back home: They will then head Down Under in November, their first tour of Australia since 2010

The bandmates will next head to North America for shows in August through to September before coming Down Under in November for the first tour of Australia since 2010.

Rock or Bust is the band's fifth No.1 album in Australia and 17th studio album overall.

The group, formed in 1973, has seen a few shake-ups of late with Chris Slade taking the place of shamed drummer Phil Rudd.

The former rock star has been fighting his legal woes after he was charged with drug possession and threatening to kill and last week escaped jail and instead has been sentenced to eight months' home detention.

The 60-year-old did not give away any of his feelings as Judge Thomas Ingram read out his sentence after he was denied a discharge without conviction, the New Zealand Herald reported.

Before his sentencing, he had launched a heart-felt plea with his former bandmates to take him back for the anniversary world tour.

Opening up about his legal woes, Rudd, 60, told A Current Affair several months ago: 'I wrote them a letter but I've had no contact from anybody,' adding he was 'disappointed' not to be touring with them now.

However, rejoining appears to be a no-go as Angus released a statement last November saying Phil had changed and it was hard talking about him.

He said at the time: 'Phil created his own situation. It's a hard thing to say about the guy. He's a great drummer, and he's done a lot of stuff for us.'

'But he seems to have let himself go. He's not the Phil we've known from the past,' he added.

Meanwhile, Malcolm Young has been replaced by his nephew Stevie, after he took retirement because of dementia, while Angus, Cliff Williams and Brian Johnson will remain the same.
