The ashes of Bon Scott, lead singer for AC/DC, are buried at a cemetery in Fremantle, here on the west coast of Australia. On 19 February 1980, after a heavy night of drinking at a London bar called the Music Machine, Scott passed out in a friend's car and never woke up. His passing away was classified as "death by misadventure." Scott's most famous album with AC/DC was Highway to Hell, and in 2004 he was voted Greatest Frontman of all time in a 2004 issue of Classic Rock. On July 28, 1979, at the Cleveland World Series of Rock, I had the chance to see him sing with AC/DC. Other bands that day were Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Journey, Thin Lizzy, and Scorpions.
Bon Scott's grave is said to be the most-often visited in Australia.
Across town, down by the harbor, is a bronze statue of Scott standing on top of a Marshall amp.
