AC/DC: First Photos Of BON SCOTT Statue Posted Online

Hayley Bolton of PerthNow reports: AC/DC fans are eagerly awaiting next week's unveiling of a statue of rock god Bon Scott. Here, we show the most revealing photos yet.

The tribute to AC/DC's former front man will be held up to a crowd of 10,000 at the Aussie Rock Concert at Claremont Showgrounds on Sunday.

While the final resting place of the statue is a secret, it will be in Scott's former hometown of Fremantle. He moved to the port city from Scotland when he was 10.

Scott was AC/DC's lead singer and lyricist for six years before he died from alcohol poisoning in London while on tour.

Fremantle Mayor Peter Tagliaferri said the statue would be put in a prominent location.

"He's a favourite son and it's a classic story . . . he came from humble beginnings and he did great things,'' Mr Tagliaferri said.

"It will draw more attention to Fremantle from an international scene ... he is a legend not only in his hometown but across the world.''
