Bon Scott: Highway to Hell
According to rock mythology, Bon Scott was more cyclone than man. Legend has the former AC/DC frontman as a womaniser, brawler and drinker; a force of nature whose raspy scream and outrageous stage presence packed arenas across the world during the band’s stratospheric 1970s rise.
In a major new biography of the Australian rock icon, Bon: The Last Highway, journalist Jesse Fink offers an exhaustive, fascinating study of both the man and the myth. He’s also undertaken a fresh investigation into the murky circumstances surrounding Scott’s death in London at age 33, unearthing new information.
But there’s much more to Scott’s story than living fast and dying young. In conversation with Jacinta Parsons, Fink will discuss the remarkable story of this blazing figure in Australian rock history.
