Singer and songwriter. Born Ronald Belford Scott in Forfar, Scotland, his family moved to Melbourne, Australia when he was six. He joined the rock group AC/DC as lead singer in 1974. Following a recording session in London, he visited a club with friends, and later was left to sleep in a car outside a friend's house, 67 Overhill Road, East Dulwich, where he was found dead the next morning. He had a history of drugs and alcohol abuse, but his cause of death was given as 'misadventure'.
Scott is shown bare-chested in every photo we have seen.
2024: Planet Radio announce that a movie is planned: "The Kid From Harvest Road is a project that aims to capture the essence of Bon Scott’s early life in Fremantle in a fictionalised narrative set in the 1960s." Lead actor: Fremantle-born Lee Tiger Halley.
