Today marks the 40th anniversary of Bon Scott's death. See the singer own the stage with AC/DC at a 1979 show
While the Aussie group had made a name for itself internationally throughout most of the Seventies, they had yet to make a real impact in the U.S. After— less than a week after Day on the Green — they became superstars. The album contained the singles “Girls Got Rhythm,” “Touch Too Much,” and, of course, “Highway to Hell,” which made it up to Number 47 on the Hot 100 by December 1979.
Scott never had the chance to enjoy AC/DC’s success fully. On February 19th, 1980, he attended a band rehearsal, played drums on a couple of songs that would appear on that year’sand later went out to a London club called Music Machine. That night he died of asphyxiation, choking on his own vomit after drinking too much. He was 33.shortly thereafter, releasing it in July 1980. “I was sad for Bon,” Angus Young said in a 1980 interview with“I didn’t even think about the band.
. “He looked at it as his art. If we had a couple of days off, then he might go out and get a bit crazy. He had a great constitution. He was always the first one out of bed and always looked fit and healthy. He was a guy who really enjoyed life.”
