Brian Johnson

Brian Francis Johnson (born 5 October 1947) is an English singer and songwriter. In 1980, after the death of Bon Scott, he became the third lead singer of the Australian rock band AC/DC. He and the rest of the band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. In March 2016, he temporarily stepped away from the band during the Rock or Bust World Tour due to hearing problems. In September 2020, AC/DC officially confirmed that Johnson along with fellow band-mates Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams had returned in August 2018 to record the band's 2020 album, Power Up. Johnson was one of the founding members of the rock band Geordie formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1971. After a few hit singles, including UK Top 10 "All Because of You" (1973), the band split up in 1978. Following the death of Bon Scott on 19 February 1980, Johnson was asked to audition for AC/DC. AC/DC guitarists and founders Angus and Malcolm Young initially reached out to Brian remembering when Bon had been impressed with him after seeing him perform with Geordie. His first album with AC/DC, Back in Black, became the second-best-selling album of all time, according to most estimates. The Guardian ranked the successful transition to Johnson at No. 36 on their list of 50 key events in rock music history.[1]

Samenvatting

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Touching, personal, indomitable, but always laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian is the legendary story of one of the rock world's best-loved performers - and the many lives he's led

'Both a rollicking tale of rock's bygone glory days and a deeply human account of a working-class boy who never gave up' MAIL ON SUNDAY
___________

For over a decade rock legend Brian Johnson tried to make his mark with a succession of bands, yet big time success remained out of reach. But was he going to give up on his dream?

Not a chance . . .

So when, after the tragic death of Bon Scott, AC/DC hired Brian as their new singer, he gave it his all. And his debut, Back in Black, went on to become the biggest-selling rock album of all time.

Big hearted, touching, indomitable and always laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian is the story of one of the world's best-loved performers, told in his own inimitable voice.
___________

'The Lives of Brian is the literary twin of a classic AC/DC album - wild material woven together seamlessly, and always leaving you wanting more' Hot Press

'A tale of fate, serendipity and dogged determination' Mojo
