Ronald Belford Bon Scott (9 July 1946 – 19 February 1980) was an Australian singer, songwriter and instrumentalist, best known for being the lead vocalist and lyricist of the Australian hard rock band AC/DC from 1974 until his death in 1980.[1]
Scott was born in Forfar, Scotland, and spent his early years in Kirriemuir. He moved to Australia with his family in 1952 at the age of six, living in Melbourne for four years before settling in Fremantle, Western Australia.[1] Scott formed his first band, The Spektors, in 1964 and became the band's drummer and occasional lead vocalist. He performed in several other bands including The Valentines and Fraternity before replacing Dave Evans as the lead singer of AC/DC in 1974.[1]
AC/DC's popularity grew throughout the 1970s, initially in Australia, and then internationally. Their 1979 album Highway to Hell reached the top 20 in the United States, and the band seemed on the verge of a commercial breakthrough. However, on 19 February 1980, Scott died after a night out in London. AC/DC briefly considered disbanding, but the group recruited vocalist Brian Johnson of the British glam rock band Geordie. AC/DC's subsequent album, Back in Black, was released only five months later, and was a tribute to Scott. It went on to become the second best-selling album in history.[1]
In the July 2004 issue of Classic Rock, Scott was rated as number one in a list of the 100 Greatest Frontmen of All Time.[2] Hit Parader ranked Scott as fifth on their 2006 list of the 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Vocalists of all time.[3]
Visiting Bon Scotts Statue in Scotland - AC/DC Legend
This video is about my luck of the draw, impromptu Visit to Bon Scotts statue while we filmed in Scotland back in 2017 for Help! My House is Haunted on REALLY TV / UKTV . AS fate would have it we had a 3 hour drive to our next location and this place was just 15 minutes off our path. I was able to get approval from production (after begging and pleading this was a chance of a lifetime - ;) and our awesome PA Mea, was kind enough to take me on this quick detour so I could pay my respect to the legend, and one of my fav rock n roll singers of all time (next to Freddie Mercury as the greatest) !

Bonfest 2017 - Stinger ( on lorry through town ) - AC/DC - Long Way + Live Wire - Kirriemuir 29/4/17
The highlight of this brilliant festival (for me). Stinger, who hail from the United States of Allersberg, we're awarded the honour of recreating the legendary 'it's a long way to the top' video of 1976. Once the truck stopped, the crowd demanded more , so we got 'live wire' too. The queue of cars was eventually allowed past - thanks to all stuck in the queue for their patience and for not blasting their horns. A magic moment if ever there was one. Well done DD8 Music for another excellent event.

Driving To Kirriemuir Angus Scotland
Tour Scotland video of driving to Kirriemuir on ancestry visit to Angus. The history of Kirriemuir reaches back to earliest recorded times, when it seems to have been a major ecclesiastical centre. Later it was identified with witchcraft, and some older houses still feature a ‘witches stane’ to ward off evil. In the 19th century, it was an important centre of the jute trade. The playwright J.M. Barrie was born and buried here
