Il February 19, 1980 The AC/DC they lost their singer: Bon Scott in fact, his body was found in the back seat of a car Overhill Roada London. A death whose contours are not entirely clear, as often happens to rock stars: the death certificate will speak of alcohol intoxication and will classify the death as accidental. Fatal, a Bon Scott, it will prove to be one last night of excess. Born in Scotland In the 1946 and emigrated as a child to Australia with the family, Scott met the brothers Angus e Malcom Young In the 1974. Soon he took over Dave Evans and became the lead singer of AC/DC. He will remain so until the day of his death, which occurred at just 34 years old. He will be replaced by Brian Johnson and a few months later it will see the light Back in Blackthe band’s most successful album: 50 million of copies sold and first place in the charts around the world. The album begins with the sound of a death knell: the last homage of the AC/DC to the friend who recently passed away.

Born in Lavagna (GE) on 26 July 1970, on the day Albano and Romina got married, after a diploma in accounting and a degree in economics and business, I began a brilliant (so to speak) career as an administrative assistant in school secretariats of the province of Genoa and, at the same time, devoured by the passion of journalism, I carry on a long collaboration with the Chiavarese broadcaster Radio Aldebaran, which began in 2000 and continues today. For 15 years I also collaborated with the Genoese newspaper Corriere Mercantile. From 2008 until its closure I edited the Atuttovasco blog.
