Bon Scott

Artist

Ronald Belford “Bon” Scott (9 July 1946 – 19 February 1980) was a Scottish-born Australian rock musician, best known for being the lead singer and lyricist of Australian hard rock band AC/DC from 1974 until his death in 1980. His wild lifestyle of sex, drugs and rock n' roll inspired him to write many lyrics praising those things – until he ironically made an ironic swan song out of an album titled Highway to Hell, drinking himself to death shortly after the tour was finished. Thus follow-up Back in Black had a somber cover and many songs praising Bon’s memory.
