| Bon Scott 1946– 1980 |
| On February 19 1980, Bon Scott passed out after a night of routine partying, and was left in a car owned by an acquaintance named Alistair Kinnear. Sometime the next day, Bon was found dead by Kinnear and immediately rushed to the hospital, but was pronounced dead upon arrival. The official cause of death was listed as "Acute alcoholic poisoning" and "Death by Misadventure." |
| AC/DC is a hard rock band formed in Sydney, Australia in November 1973 by rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young and his brother, lead guitarist Angus Young. Their albums have sold in colossal numbers, the total now being estimated at well in excess of 150 million copies worldwide, with the 1980 album Back in Black selling over 21 million in the US alone and 42 worldwide, making it the second best selling album in the world. The band has had two distinctive lead singers, and its fans tend to divide its history into the "Bon Scott era" (1974-80), when they were fronted by the legendary Bon Scott and the "Brian Johnson era" (1980-present). Although the AC/DC is generally considered to be a pioneer of hard rock and heavy metal music (ranked # 4 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock"), the members have always referred to their music as rock 'n' roll. |
