AC/DC: Fans Salute BON SCOTT

May 8, 2006

According to The Daily Record, about 500 AC/DC fans descended on a Scottish town at the weekend to remember rock legend Bon Scott.

Fans from as far afield as Hungary witnessed the unveiling of a plaque in honour of the heavy metal frontman, who died in 1980.

The plaque was unveiled by Kirriemuir community councillor Dave Milne, who commissioned it along with fellow AC/DC fan Gordon Burke.

Scott was born in the Angus town in 1946. He lived there until he was six, when his family emigrated to Australia.

He joined AC/DC in 1974 and recorded five albums before dying of alcohol poisoning.
