The one and only Bon Scott from AC/DC passed away on this day in 1980 (February 19), aged just 33.
 
Bon Scott was truly one of a kind, born Ronald Belford Scott in Scotland, he moved to Australia with his family when he was six years old.

He got the nickname "Bon" soon after starting school at Sunshine Primary School in Melbourne; because there was another Ronald in the class, his classmates played on the phrase "Bonnie Scotland", shortening it to “Bon”.

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.

With Scott up front, AC/DC went from a glam rock combo into the cracking hard rock band that Australia fell in love with, that were on the brink of international superstardom when tragedy struck.

On 19 February 1980, Scott went on a drinking binge in a London pub that caused him to lose consciousness, so a friend let him rest in the back of his Renault 5 overnight. 

The next morning, Scott was found unresponsive and rushed to King's College Hospital where medical personnel pronounced him dead on arrival. 

The coroner ruled that pulmonary aspiration of vomit was the cause of Scott's death, but the official cause was listed on the death certificate as "acute alcoholic poisoning" and classified as "death by misadventure".

AC/DC's seventh studio album “Back In Black” was released five months later as a dedication and tribute to Scott. 
The record went on to become the second best-selling album in music history…

In 2003, Scott was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of AC/DC.

Bon Scott had a killer voice, and a smile and a fun-loving twinkle in his eye was never too far away when he performed, in his trademark bare chest and skin-tight jeans.

One of our best….
