Rock stars revel in excess and non-more so than the legendary Bon Scott. Before his first gig with Australian rockers AC/DC he downed two bottles of bourbon accompanied with a side order of dope, a large measure of cocaine, and a generous portion of speed. Only after consuming this potent cocktail of chemicals did he declare he was ready to rock! Bon joined the band as their drummer but quickly graduated to be the front man of the group. Sadly Bon’s habit of over consumptio0n got the better of him and on February 19th 1980 he was found unconscious behind the wheel of a parked car. He was rushed to hospital but pronounced dead on arrival; he was only 33 years old.

Many regard the five years Bon fronted the band as their finest and fans around the world still miss his legendary presence and belting vocal delivery!
