Dave Grohl has shared an emotional moment from AC/DC's final tour date. NME reports that Brian Johnson invited Grohl on stage at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the last date of AC/DC's two year Power Up tour, to play Highway to Hell

Grohl told New Zealand radio station The Rock that it was one of the most full circle moments of his entire life. He said he walked off stage and broke down in tears, with his wife watching from the side of the stage

The show had been rescheduled from 25 September because of severe weather. Earlier in the tour, Foo Fighters stepped in as AC/DC's support act in St Louis on 8 September, replacing The Pretty Reckless

Johnson told the crowd that the band hoped to see them again. No next project has been announced

Grohl has always worn his love of rock history on his sleeve, so playing with one of his heroes clearly meant everything. Moments like this remind us that even huge stars are fans at heart. Fans will hope Johnson's parting words mean more AC/DC is to come

What would be your dream on stage moment with a favourite band? And have we seen the last of AC/DC on tour?

Wait, didn't he already jam with them like a decade ago or am I losing my mind? Either way, crying to Highway to Hell is peak Dave Grohl and honestly... wait, scratch that, I promised myself I wouldn't use that word. Let's just say it's the most endearing thing ever.

His wife watching from the side of the stage makes it even more touching. Sharing a moment like that with family. You can see why he got emotional. Lovely detail. Family support means everything on big nights

She has seen his whole journey. That makes the moment even sweeter
