SARASOTA, Fla. - A new music therapy room at a hospital on Florida's Gulf Coast is being named for AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson.

Johnson and other rock stars have supported an effort to buy music equipment and provide music education for children, including those who are in the hospital.

Music equipment and enhancements to the room at Sarasota Memorial Hospital are being donated by the John Entwhistle Foundation, named for the late bassist for The Who. Johnson and other rockers have worked to raise money for the charity.

The man himself will be on hand at the hospital for the dedication of the Brian Johnson Music Therapy Room next week.
