AC/DC: Scottish Newspaper Publishes Article On Upcoming BON SCOTT Memorial

February 6, 2006

Scottish newspaper The Forfar Desptach & Kirriemuir Herald published an article in its February 2, 2006 edition about the proposed carved stone plinth in honor of late AC/DC frontman Bon Scott. Check out a scan of the feature at the AC/DC fan site Crabsody In Blue.

Bon Scott died on February 19, 1980 in London, England. He choked to death on his own vomit while sleeping in a friend's car. According to the AC/DC FAQ web site, he and the friend, a musician named Alisdair Kinnear, had been drinking the evening of the 19th and Bon apparently fell asleep during the ride home. Kinnear could not wake Bon, so he left him in the car to sleep. Kinnear awoke early in the evening on the 20th, checked on Bon, and found him unconscious in the car. Bon could not be revived, and was pronounced dead.
