The veteran drummer, who finished recording a new AC/DC album in Canada in June, will release his debut album on August 29 via Universal Music Australia.

Phil's debut has been in the making for a while, however. One of the songs on the album, Lonely Child, was written 25 years ago. Says the veteran drummer:

"It has been a long process. We built the studio, we wrote the songs. It's been going on for seven or eight years. I just wrote a couple of songs and gradually the idea of an album came up."

Phil recorded the album with Allan Badger and Geoffrey Martin, at his studio near where he lives in Tauranga, New Zealand.

The first single, Repo Man, is out now. Check out the song and its lyrics video below:

Last April, AC/DC and confirmed reports that guitarist Malcolm Young was stepping down due to an undisclosed illness. Malcolm's nephew Stevie has stepped in as replacement.
