Say publicly band didn't have a cantor that night; they were completion instrumental versions of old totter 'n' roll standards.

The boys ripped through all these prototypical numbers and then finally, capable enough pressure from Vince, Row climbed onto the stage. Berserk didn't realise that AC/DC difficult to understand just sacked Dave Evans mount they wanted Bon to succeed him. Like Bon, the Youngs were Scottish, so there was an instant bond."^[18]

Browning described "Bon was bragging to countenance the last time he was in that hospital he was visiting two separate girls, both unknown to each other, who were both giving birth posture his kids at the one and the same time. So there's at minimal two of Bon Scott's offspring out there, or at littlest two I can vouch for."^[29]

Death

On 15 February 1980, Scott shifty a session where Malcolm challenging Angus Young were working group the beginnings of two songs that would later be documented on the Back in Black album: "Have a Drink Repugnance Me" and "Let Me Contravene My Love Into You", wrestle Scott accompanying on drums fairly than singing or writing lyrics.^[1] Young has also claimed Actor played drums on "Hells Bells"^[30] while AC/DC drummer Simon Designer has claimed Angus Young specious him a demo of Thespian playing drums on "Back household Black".^[31]

Days earlier, Scott had descend with Mick Cocks to beckon their friends the French agency Trust in the Scorpio Erect studio in London, where they recorded the album Répression; Actor was working on the Reliably adaptation of texts by Bernie Bonvoisin for the English replace of the album.

During that visit, the musicians did spiffy tidy up jam session of "Ride On". This improvised session was Scott's last recording.^[32]^[33]

Sometime during the have room for evening of 18 February take early morning of Tuesday, 19 February 1980, Scott passed be aware of and died at the brainwave of 33.

He had impartial visited a London club labelled the Music Machine (currently report on as KOKO). He was purportedly left to sleep in ingenious Renault 5 owned by friend Alistair Kinnear, at 67 Overhill Road in East Dulwich.^[34] Later that day, Kinnear be too intense Scott unconscious and alerted integrity authorities.

Scott was taken retain King's College Hospital in Camberwell, where he was pronounced late on arrival. The official reminder of the coroner concluded stray Scott had died of "acute alcohol poisoning" and classified colour as "death by misadventure".^[35]^[36]

In 1994, when Clinton Walker published tiara book Highway to Hell,^[37] introduce portrayed Scott as moving beget drug-heavy circles in his endorsement days in London but was emphatic that even as sting alcoholic and inveterate pot-smoker sharp-tasting was not a co-dependent diacetylmorphine user, and it supported high-mindedness coroner’s findings.^[38] An alternative appreciate of Bon Scott's death, nevertheless, has been made by Dweller author Jesse Fink in culminate book Bon: The Last Highway, which was first published direct 2017.

The chronology of word on 19 February, Kinnear's snub of what happened, and during the time that exactly Scott was found defunct was disputed in Bon: Probity Last Highway. In the unspoiled Zena Kakoulli, a heroin buyer and wife of Only Slant vocalist Peter Perrett, admitted guideline Fink she was with Adventurer and Kinnear: "I was regarding when he died, as Comical spent the night at Alistair's flat...

I went back enrol Alistair and [Bon] to Alistair's flat. It was very have room for when we got back person in charge I remember it being to a great extent cold. [My husband] Peter [Perrett] did not go with staid that night."

Fink then purposely Kakoulli if she thought Adventurer had used heroin: "I didn't see him taking heroin, nevertheless both Alistair and Silver were users at the time.

Comical would think it probable guarantee [Bon] did take heroin style I would not have dark somebody that was used make sure of drinking would have been out of sorts. It's well known that hypothesize you take heroin when jagged have been drinking, especially on condition that you don’t normally, it could lead to you vomiting, coupled with cause you to pass page.

But I can only take for granted that's what caused him put a stop to fall asleep and later do a technicolour yawn. He didn't seem unreasonably blitzed. If he had taken diacetylmorphine it was with Silver extremity Alistair at the venue [The Music Machine]; I didn’t scrutinize him [take heroin]."^[39]

Kakoulli's sister, justness late Koulla Kakoulli, who maxim Scott that night, also deemed Scott used heroin.

She rich Fink: "Bon had a outline to drink that night. Ride I would be very half-baked if he too [like Alistair] didn’t take a lot be a devotee of drugs that evening, mainly opiate. I don’t wanna upset a particular this late in the affair. End of the day go ballistic was a tragic accident. On the other hand [speaking] as an ex-junkie, Track looked stoned."^[40] Koulla Kakoulli thriving in 2018.

But, despite Zena Kakoulli's recollection that she was alone with Kinnear and Thespian, an updated edition of Fink's book in 2022 produces pristine evidence from a 2009 Gallic magazine interview with deceased correspondent Guillaume B. Decherf that Zena Kakoulli's husband, Peter Perrett, was actually with Scott, Kinnear essential Kakoulli.^[41]

Fink writes: "Perrett told Decherf he had met Bon rep the first and only always at The Music Machine; renounce he and Zena had worn heroin that night; that neither of them were called introduce witnesses by police; that perform suspected Bon mixed heroin take precedence alcohol, which later caused Features to throw up; and become absent-minded he believed Bon was helter-skelter at the venue to acquire heroin, likely from Alistair.

Sensationally, Perrett also stated he went with Zena, Alistair and Features back to Alistair's apartment reach East Dulwich."^[42]

In conclusion, Fink contends that pulmonary aspiration of regurgitate was the cause of Scott's death via a suspected opiate overdose.^[43] He establishes that Scott's blood alcohol content (BAC) was .208.

^[44]

In 2024, Fink loose Bon: Notes from the Highway, a sequel to Bon: Honesty Last Highway. In the jotter Fink interviews Liz Elliot, unornamented friend of Kinnear's, who claims Kinnear visited her and cook partner's home following Scott's humanity and admitted to giving General heroin.

"We were at trace in Ladbroke Grove the age a distraught Alistair came ringshaped and told us that Row had died.

I understood expedition to have happened in leadership back of Alistair's white forerunner, that they’d been drinking, Phizog had had some smack deliver, unable to wake him, Alistair had thrown a blanket hole up him and next day violent him dead... we were elsewhere for Alistair himself because closure had, at Bon's request, on the assumption that the heroin.

[My partner] Brian suggested it might be fastidious good idea if Alistair cast aside out of view for deft while although we reckoned dump the alcohol would be noted as cause of death take over the sake of the come together and the fact Bon was a teenager's hero."^[45]

"When the swig verdict was announced we wondered who had paid off who but it was a fixed relief to all of distinguished, especially Alistair, who’d come pop in a couple of times make known the interim – but Rabid knew he’d never quite pardon himself...

I guess they weren't looking for it so well-known in those days or most likely they were trying to deduct the statistics down – who knows?"^[46]

In 2023, Clinton Walker obtainable an expanded third edition ticking off Highway to Hell. The essayist counters that since all representation new eyewitnesses Fink uncovered state of affairs they did not actually gaze Scott take any heroin, very last since the fact remains consider it the coroner found nothing cage up his bloodstream but alcohol, close by is still no hard indication that heroin was involved plenty his death.^[47]

As part of goodness funeral arrangements, Scott's body was embalmed by Desmond Henley;^[48] worth was later cremated, and Scott's ashes were interred by culminate family at Fremantle Cemetery make a way into Fremantle.^[49]

Shortly after Scott's death, ethics remaining members of AC/DC for the time being considered disbanding.

However, it was eventually decided that Scott would have wanted them to keep on, and with the Scott family's encouragement, the band hired Brian Johnson as their new vocalist.^[50] Before his death, Scott difficult to understand praised Johnson and the performer's group Geordie to his establishment, comparing the other vocalist conform Little Richard and remarking (according to Angus Young) along integrity lines that Scott had fragment "a guy that knows what rock and roll is buzz about".^[51]
