Claim to Fame: Lead singer with pioneering Australian group AC/DC. His
gravelly voice and stage antics epitomised what a rock singer was all about.
He died on the verge of international success for the band. However the
band played on and found even greater success with new frontman Brian Johnson
and the tribute album to Bon - 'Back in Black'. Check out the live album
'If You Want Blood' to hear Bon in action.
