"It wasn't me. I didn't do it. And I'll never do it again!" says Brian Johnson, the legendary frontman of AC/DC. His journey through rock 'n' roll is one of the most uplifting stories in music history. Born to a British army sergeant-major and an Italian mother in Dunston, Tyne and Wear, Brian's life changed when he saw Little Richard on the BBC. Determined to become a singer, he spent over a decade trying to find his place in the music scene, performing on Top of the Pops and touring Australia, but success eluded him. Everything changed when he auditioned for AC/DC, a band reeling from the loss of lead singer Bon Scott. With Brian's arrival, they recorded the iconic album Back in Black, which became the best-selling rock album ever. The subsequent tour filled arenas and solidified his place among the fans. However, in 2016, Brian faced a setback with hearing loss that forced him to leave the band. Yet, he made a remarkable comeback in 2020 with the release of Power Up. Brian's life has been a thrilling ride, yet he has remained grounded and connected to his roots. Warm, vivid, and often hilarious, this story captures the essence of one of music's most beloved performers in his own unique voice.
