Did you know that AC/DC frontman Bon Scott was rumored to have gotten into heroin before his death and that some say he made significant lyrical contributions to Back in Black? Before his death in 1980 at the tragically young age of only 33, Bon Scott was the lead singer of the legendary rock-and-roll group AC/DC. After Bon’s death, the band went on to achieve more success than ever before with the release of Back in Black the same year.

Though fans have always thought that Back in Black was created without Bon’s involvement, there is evidence suggesting that the singer contributed lyrics to the album before his passing. Other secrets that aren’t commonly known about the rock-and-roll frontman include the fact that many think he became involved in heroin before he died. This changes how some are viewing the late singer’s death, as it was initially believed that he had died simply of alcohol poisoning.
By all accounts, AC/DC’s Bon Scott was a man that loved to party. However, up until recently, it was believed that the singer didn’t dabble all that much in hard substances before his untimely passing. For the most part, it has been believed that Bon was simply drinking heavily at the time of his death. Still, there are an increasing number of people who believe that what truly killed the singer was a heroin overdose. Join Facts Verse as we explore what happened to AC/DC’s Bon Scott on his final night alive.
What Happened to ACDC's Bon Scott on His Final Night Alive - Розваги
I love ACDC! Bon was a great singer. Their albums and songs are classic. RIP Bon Scott.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. Which ACDC song appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse Back in Black is my favorite song!
We miss you Bon. You were my favorite and first group as a youngster in America. The times I had listening to AC ⚡ DC were legendary. I'll never forget them. I hope one day we can meet on the next plane....
Bon Scott was always the "real" AC/DC. You can tell by the lyrics in Back in Black that those are from Bon. To me, the Bon era was the best era of AC/DC.
If people would actually LISTEN to the lyrics in the 'Back in Black' album it sounds like a continuation or a part 2 of the 'Highway to Hell' album...it sounds so much alike that it's almost undeniable.
Bon Scott's DNA is all over the album BACK IN BLACK and that's why his family has and always and will continue to get royalties from BACK IN BLACK.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. If we may ask, who is your all-time favorite band?
So true
Who ever left him in the car to die wasn't his friends. You never leave your family and friends like that , get someone to help you get them inside and safe.
I totally agree. The circumstances surrounding his death do not add up at all to me. If there's anything his fellow partiers should have known, it's not to leave anyone in that state without supervision to make sure they stay breathing and don't choke on anything that may come back up. So sad. One of the saddest deaths ever. 😞
Allister Kinere was the Man that left Bon Scott
In the Car where Bon was found Dead
The night Bin Died earlier in the evening
Bon was a club in london,Engand
Club called the MUSIC MACHINE with
Allister Kinear. People at the club that night
Who saw Bon said Bon Had snorted Heroine
And Drank a total of 7 Double Whiskey Souars.
4 sure!!
I would like to see that evidence that you have on the people at that club?
The one who left him was also drunk and weak and Bon was knocked out. Nothing he could've done. Two wasted people aren't gonna think right. It was a freak accident.
Just from listening to the AC/DC 'Back In Black' Album, I would guess that most of these songs contain clever lines / witty phrases which have been taken directly from Bon Scott's lyrics notebook.

I absolutely love AC/DC!!! One of my favorite bands of all time. 🤟😊
We're happy to know that you're a fan of AC/DC but which song appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse , Shook Me All Night Long. Definitely!! 😊
@@FactsVersehighway to hell
I live in northeast Florida, ACDC was the hottest band of the time, the radio station played all the songs, even the ones not released as singles. This was during the Bon Era, many years later I discovered they weren't that popular elsewhere, that was a huge surprise.
Alert?!!...RIP Angela Lansbury (1925-2022).
Oh shit Lady Adelaide Stitch from Nanny McPhee is dead
Oh! Wow! Hadn't heard That Angela Lansbury had died. R.I.P.
🥀🥀
May Angela find peace 🙏
I’m pretty sure that the main health issue that Malcolm is struggling with today is the fact that he’s dead.
Yall know malcom died in 2017 right?
Yep.
Well durrrrhhhh no shit numb nuts
Lol its 2024, anyone know it who know for AcDc
Its same quastion as "you know that Joey Jordison died?" 🤦
AC/DC was never considered heavy metal, and Angus and Malcolm Young stopped anybody who tried to call the band heavy-metal. They say “we are a rock ‘n’ roll band.”
No matter how hard an artist or band wants to label their own genre, it's inevitably the fans that label them.
if chuck berry said he plays indian classical music does that make it true? acdc is more rock and roll than heavy metal but that has nothing to do with what the band members call it. im surprised an adult would even make that argument
@@warshipsatin8764Heavy Metal is rock 'n' roll, and AC/DC sing about Hell and sex, have repetitive riffs and fancy guitar solos. It's heavy metal...
@@thursoberwick1948 so is ac/dc and judas priest are in the same categories. are you having a laugh. judas priest is heavy metal , ac/dc is rock'n'roll.
@@warrenfry814 How? AC/DC deny it yet they have many heavy metal trademarks, some of which they share with Judas Priest. The subject matter, heavy riffs, solos etc. Even the font on their logo and album covers scream metal. I've never understood why AC/DC are so keen to deny it. Heavy Metal is a subset of Hard Rock anyway, much as Thrash is a subset of Heavy Metal.
There are metal bands which are often *less* heavy than AC/DC by the way, particularly some prog metal.
Malcolm young died in 2017. You just said he has health issues. That's about the biggest health issue you can have. I thought maybe this was an old video, but I see it's new
You expect accuracy from this channel? Be mildly entertained and keep your standards low with FV.
they also stated phil rudd was no longer a member and then proceeded to show 2020ish photo of the band and, yup, there was phil.
I can hardly stand to listen to them now, without bon it's just not ac/dc
But you still listen to them. I find it the other way around as Johnson was a big upgrade on Scott.
Death is inevitable everyone's gonna taste it. I absolutely love bon Scott's vocals he was definitely a wild card. But I would be lost if Brian Johnson hadn't have finished the back in black album.i still have my first copy since 82 I think he is a awesome addition to the group..still nothing like them..awesome video 2thumbs up. Thank you for sharing...
I SOOOO agree

Glad to know that you love AC/DC! Which of their songs appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse back and black
Every group has a sacrifice, Led, kiss

they said he chocked in the night from the position he was sleeping in. but it's strange, because sleeping in a car in feb in that cold, he could of died from hypothermia...eathier way both would be contributing factors to his death imo.
Weather records from the night rule out hypothermia
Hardcore day one fan here in the U.S.A. Will never accept what the band passes off about Bon. Absolutely lie after lie. As for Back in black, Bon wrote all the lyrics prior to his death but the album was heavily tweaked prior to release. Bon made a huge mistake going to work for Malcolm and that’s all I will say about this damned mess. Love and miss you Ronald Belford “Bon” Scott. ⚡️Legends never die brother⚡️
Bons albums had a whole different style and sound Brian’s years are straight hard rock love both!
Fun fact . Bon was in The Valentines. Sung build me up buttercup. Gotta make a living till better things came along . Like ac dc
Yes, Bon Scott definitely contributed to songs on this album
Yeah, it's only evident that the lyrics on Back In Black are the creation of Bon's double entendre wit. No other Johnson era album has that kind of cheeky bravado or quintessential finesse.
This 👆 Look closely at the lyrics and compare them to Bon-era lyrics, and then post-BIB Johnson-Era lyrics… not saying Bon wrote every song on there, but every good on there.
The real question is: that being the case… why did the Youngs and the rest of the band deny Bon a writer’s credit on those songs?” And fork it over to a guy who just showed up once Bon was out of the picture?
Don’t know much about the backstage inner-band politics of AC/DC during that era, but if someone was a friend of mine… aaaand that friend happened to work with my brother and I, writing kickass music that took us all over the world…. aaaaand that friend died at the age of thirty-fucking-three, after writing a bunch of killer songs for the album we were all smack in the middle of creating…. Then you couldn’t have possibly kept me from honoring that friend by putting their name next to the songs they wrote.
Now I ask ya… how did he really die? We’ll never know… because just like so many others that have died under mysterious or otherwise under-defined circumstances, the records are shit, things were purposefully omitted, and the only people who know… are either dead, or they ain’t talkin.
As an Aussie in my 40s I grew up with a lot of punk and Nu metal and was never a fan of AC/DC except maybe thunderstruck
It’s only now I appreciate what AC/DC have done and how hard working and original they were
And how well they represented the Aussie lower class people m
I thought he died from chocking on his vomit. Passed out in the backseat.
In Vancouver.
He was curled around the gearstick in a Renault 5 , twisted neck, choked on bile …..
I hate heroin. I'm a widow because of it. Give me Jailbreak , Thunderstruck Stiff upper lip all day🎸.
Glad to see you read Jesse Fink’s book the last highway.
Yes I believe he wrote lyrics to some of the songs on the Album
I remember reading that as soon as their manager got the news of his death he sent several of the road crew to Bons apartment to confiscate any notebooks they could find. I think they left with about 15 of them. Now what do you think they were used for?
Make No Mistake Bon Scott is AC/DC.

Brian Johnson wrote the lyrics for back in black (he talks about it in his book ,the lives of Brian 😂)
I heard he wrote 3 songs. Have a drink on me was one. I think another one was What do you do for money honey. I can't think of the third.
You Shook Me, Let Me Put My Love into You, Rock nRoll Ain't Noise Pollution. All Bon songs lyrically.
Malcolm's not been around since2017 Phil around same time your making it sound like there still around rip both
I love Bons scream
Us too! Which song is the most memorable for you?
"Death by misadventure" means Bon did something he didn't normally do. Somehow it came to be that he consumed heroine or too much heroine while being already drunk, a deadly combination. Either his inexperience as a hard core heroine user led to his death, or he wasn't aware he was taking heroine that night. At any rate, heroine killed him.
Hypothermia . . . Sleeping in a Car passed out in a Februar winter in UK CAN Kill You
@@Hanzey1966weather records from that night would rule out hypothermia, not cold enough.
@@jamesneighbour5565 It does not has to be below Zero (freezing) to go in state of Hypothermia, especially not when Intoxicated. In excample: When people fall into Cold water, they CAN die from Hypothermia, while the water is not below Zero. . . Otherwise it would be Ice. Get my point???
If/when He died/ overdosed on Heroïne it would have been mentioned as opioïde intoxication in the Coroner report
Acdc had a cult following and some fantastic songs and albums, then they got legendary producer mutt Lange and made highway to hell which pushed them closer to stardom, Bonns bad habit was always drinking heavily, I believe that's what killed him, the band loved bon and if he had written any lyrics they certainly would've given him credit , Malcom was acting erratically for a few years before he was diagnosed with dementia which killed him in 2017 , Malcom played a driving rhythm guitar while Angus did the fantastic lead guitar, they almost split up after Bons death but found Brian Johnson and then made one of the biggest rock albums in history back in black, I swear every song is perfection, rip bon Scott, he has statues in Australia and Scotland, acdc still tours and packs the fans in , still extremely popular worldwide
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
The only song i heard he was rumored to have worked on was Givin The Dog A Bone.
Actually Mark Evans was the first bassist and Cliff came in 1977/78
RIP Bon you are still missed 💔
Absolutely! We feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
He dropped his friend off who was also ripped and stayed out in the car. He passed out and it was winter. he froze to death while being passed out with Alcohol poisoning.
I have also heard that Scott was involved and wrote at least some songs on the Back In Black album like Hell Bells.
Maybe but even though they demoed a track or two (?) , who knows?. Bon Scott was a masterful lyrical poet. Brian has done a hell of a job 👍. What a tough job to follow what Bon and the guys had created. Hats off to ACDC, ROCK ON Bon Scott R.I.P..🤘Up the Irons 🤘.
I have no doubt Bon Scott had imput of influence on that album! As ir is, as clear, as day to hear how Back in Black was tailor made to showcase Bon Scott vocals.
It was lucky ACDC found Brian Johnson to finish the job, and become ACDC new singer.
Bon's nephews were standing next to Brian when the band got inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
You lost me when you mentioned Cliff Williams as one of the founding members.. He wasn't a founding member. Mark Evans was their Bass guitar player. Williams didn't join the band until after Let There Be Rock.
Considering there was three months between Bon Scott's death and the release of the Back In Black album, it's certainly possible that Bon wrote some of the lyrics. What is known is that Bon indirectly named his replacement in ACDC. Shortly before his death, Bon Scott saw the band Geordie (fronted by Brian Johnson) in concert. After the show, he told his bandmates that if something happened him, they should check out Brian Johnson as a replacement. Regarding Bon Scott's death, it was also reported that he choked on his own vomit and suffocated.
Interesting, thank you so much for sharing your take on this. Very rational and possible 👍
I heard the same thing but shrugged it off
He did some of those songs live. You can find them here on UA-cam
Noddy Holder was approached through His management and declined. Danny McCafferty was also approached, his wife didn't want Him on long tours. Johnston was 3rd choice at least.
Love Bon he was incredible AC/ DC is incredible just si sad he miss the glory of success that came
Us too! Glad to know that you're a fan. Which AC/DC song is the most memorable for you?
Cliff Williams was NOT the original bass player for AC/DC. And the band wasn't an "underground sensation" Prior to the release of back in black.
This video titled Bon Scotts' last night alive. You didnt speak of it. Why?
Bon may not have been a habitual heroin user, but his death was a clear case of heroin OD. Non of the details match up regarding his final 2 days according to the official report and he did hang out, occasionally, with heroin users and dealers. Cause of the touring and other mishaps he didnt see heroin users on a daily basis and surely did not use that frequently either, but that all makes it all so much more clear. Bon simply spent a night with heroin users and, either by himself or assisted, received too much heroin in his system. This is what caused him to nod out and then not wake up. As Alistair Kinnear reported to the police it "looked as if he was sleeping" until Kinnear touched him and felt he was cold as ice. Yet, Bon in the coroners report was told to have died form alcohol poisoning. I will tell you: Bon would not die from booze, unless it was during delirium tremens, which he by no reports ever had experienced and not during his final days either. Going to sleep, aka passing out, and then stopping to breath is a heroin overdose. Plain and simple. Bon after months of being very stressed and pushed to his limits sough to ease the pain and not only with booze but with heroin, and Silver Smith and Alistair Kinnear were the people to find it for him. Bon had no reason to want to die at that time, he had a Japanese girl friend and even though he feared the touring of the coming album he would not leave his friens and family behind. He didnt want to die, he wanted to live happy with love.
Truly sad story. RIP, Bon
Just in my small rural town, I have not only heard of several cases of alcohol poisoning, I have heard of numerous close calls. It has been reported that while passed out, Bon Scott vomited (a normal occurrence for severe intoxication), aspirated his vomit and choked to death. This is a typical manner of death in alcohol related deaths and would have not been out of the question for a person passed out while sitting upright in the back of a car.
Although it would be no more of a tragedy for him to have died from one form of intoxication than another. I think people need to let him rest in peace and accept the official account of his passing. Nothing will ever soften the blow that was the tragedy when he died. Whether famous or an ordinary individual, he passed away needlessly at far too young an age, while partaking of a product (any, either, or), that millions partake in, thinking it's a good time.
Like many that went before (Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, etc.), and many since (Michael Jackson, Whitney Huston, and others), the lifestyle of using mind altering substances has robbed families, fans, and colleagues of talented people who died far too soon!
Hypothermia killed Him when passed out in the Car. . . Februari winters in UK are Cold . . .
Yeah ummmmm....Malcom is dead since 2017
You can't Record a Classic
Album like that (5) month's
After the Bon Scott dies, that's
Impossible Bob's stamp of
Approval is all over it !.. 🤔
Yep
Definite heroin overdose, imo. Also his lyrics did appear on BIB.
He was a Live Wire that did the Bad Boy Boogie and wound up Back in Black
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
After reading the last highway I find it very plausible that he OD’d on smack and they left him for dead in the car. What “ friend” would leave their pal in the back seat of a car in 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bj has a voice like Daffy duck, first time I heard him I really thought our local radio station was doing another skit
A couple years ago my son sent me a side by side picture of BJ and Elmo from Sesame St. captioned 'you'll never unhear it' lol Spot on.
This tho 🤣😅
Bon Scott is alive and well he is Colin Hay of "Men at Work" he just had to hangup his image with ACDC he hated the demands of being on the road from one town to another town from one Country to another Country! He wanted to make music on his own time and perform on his own terms. Most importantly he wanted to be about his family.
To the two previous comments, correct. They are not heavy-metal. And Mark Evans was the original bassist. Bon definitely had heroin in his system. He was hanging out with the boys from UFO who were anonymous for shooting.
Did bon write lyrics? Maybe. But one thing i don't understand is why was none of the othe albums songs sound the same or why did the other album's not reach the popularity BiB got. Did Argentina not get the other ones
"It is sometimes easier to have furniture made than to find things..."
"I do think a carpenter needs a good hammer to bang in the nail..."
I think he did contribute lyrics before his death. I think heroin was involved. Something is not ...
Yes did some words Back in Black
there was more but I can't say right now
I heard a demo of bon singing back in black
That's not a demo, if it's what I think it is, it Jessy james Dupree singing back in black
phil rudd and cliff Williams weren't in band with dave evans phil joined band after bon cliff joined after mark evans on powerage
Maybe 6 lines and 2-3 soung titles... that's all from Bon that was there and ended up on the album. He didn't write whole songs before the recording sessions. He wrote the big chunk DURING the sessions. Does there have be such a big fuss about it? No... The band did enough to honor Bon, by even including the whole thing into the Bonfire boxset.
Of course it was heroin AND alcahol, probable some who knows... ButHeroin definitely my "guess". look it does not make himm shameful, MOST of these kinda of rockstar deaths are opioids... The list will be to long. It grabs ya, it doesn't let go !! AWSOME AWSOME Frontman, artist & Human being!!! Love him! Rest Easy my Brother!!
He wasn't a junkie. Just because All other American & brittish celebrities died as junkies. Bon wasn't one.
You certainly do not have to be a junkie to die from heroin overdose. Heroin combined with alcohol is much easier to overdose . I know 2 ppl who snorted dope while drunk and overdosed . Neither were junkies .
@@mrbill9248I read that alcohol and opiates when combined make each other 4-6x stronger. 4 drinks becomes 16 one hit of an opiate becomes 4. Not hard to figure out it doesn’t take much to kill you.
In every interview I've seen of him, he was totally out of his tree!
Did it say how he died? Or did I miss that
Hey where did you talk to "Holly X"? Oh that's right, you didn't because that's not her real name. You just took the info from author Jesse Fink's book "Bon: The Last Highway" and didn't credit him for it.
Anybody else find it slightly in bad taste that the sponsor is a cocktail maker for a story about a guy who died from alcohol poisoning?
no booze no drug no nothing stay away
That sponsorship tho😕
Hot shot justification - that makes sense, the man had way to much direction; back in black had a darker underbelly evidently and got cleaned up? #1 front man period
he did
With out a doubt back in black is bon Scott just listen to the lyrics those are bons story's shook me all night long thats a night he spent with some bad ass chick
His cause of death was asphyxiation. Allegedly, he vomited, but that is questionable. Angus revealed this during an interview in the 90's.
You are factually incorrect. Cliff Williams was not a founding member and they didn't "settle" on Brian Johnson, he came highly recommend by Bon Scott himself...
There is no record of Bon recommending anyone. That’s another urban myth probably perpetrated by the brothers young. But you are correct on everything else
Wow... for someone called FACTverse they certainly can't get the facts right... firstly bon was there second vocalist, cliff Williams was there 3rd bassist, phil rudd was there 2nd drummer and there's multiple interviews with brian johnson about writing back in black 🙄
Shame ex girlfriends can not provide evidence of the letters that include the lyrics used on back in black.
if the guy died from over indulgence in ingesting marinated monkey piss. what about it. dabbling in heavier drugs doesn't make him a lesser person. great vocalist and lyricist.
Where did you do your research? So many errors.
🫣
Alcohol is bad news in excess - has killed so many
I'm sure drugs were involved too even if he only just tried some. He also wore a pentagram necklace too.
I was killed because they considerate him a danger
Please don't call acdc heavy metal they all ways said they were hard rock
Bon Scott music will live on he might not given credit for back in black but you still him on the album
Bon Scott wrote all those songs someone's not telling the truth Bon Scott was whacked so they could profit off of his music
Old video . Phil is back in the band. Malcolm is dead.
Cause od death? he was too good,and the music industry have their own kings,so the elite
dont allow others to be better than the supposed kings of r'n'r...is not our game,is their game...

Ac/dc was never heavy metal but hard rock.
Johnson is nothing compared to Scott
Malcom young was the brilliant song writer for acdc bon Scott was a washed up nobody with 1 songwriting credit Johnson wrote more songs with georide bon didn't turn into a great song writer over night his estate is worth 10 million thats not bib royalty money
I love bon scott ac/dc but I can't watch this video
This video is bull dude get all your facts straight before a video ac/dc was never considered a Heavy Metal band.
What a waste of life to much to soon 🤘
I love the band with both the Bon era and Brian to present. Say what you want about who wrote what lyrics. I don't see any concrete proof that Bon put words to the Back In Black album. Just hear-say is all I've heard or seen. Show me proof. That's all I ask. Bon's lyrics were great and unlike any other songwriter. Brian is credited with some brilliant lyrics as well. However, I don't feel it's fair to compare the two. They are and were two very different individuals with very different songwriting styles. Both of which are excellent. The band's accolades prove that. AC/DC is a true powerhouse regardless of which era you're listening to.
Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing your sentiments. Which AC/DC song is the most memorable for you?
@@FactsVerse Believe it or not, Riff Raff has always stuck in my mind. The live version from If you want blood, you got it. Killer track.
Australian "heavy metal" group lol
