If you've been following the curious case of former AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd, here's a funny fake news story to check out. Hot on the heels of Rudd's guilty plea to charges of threatening to kill and drug possession, Evening Harold has suggested that, instead of prison, he should be sentenced to "three years in Whitesnake".

The article then suggests that a being forced to play for Whitesnake for such an extended period might qualify as cruel and unusual punishment, urging that a more proper sentence would be to spend a couple weeks in Def Leppard.

According to the totally fake story, "life in Whitesnake is known to be incredibly harsh: some who have served it end up taking their own hearing."  Check out the full story here.
