THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Touching, personal, indomitable, but always laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian is the legendary story of one of the rock world’s best-loved performers – and the many lives he’s led

‘Both a rollicking tale of rock’s bygone glory days and a deeply human account of a working-class boy who never gave up’ MAIL ON SUNDAY

For over a decade rock legend Brian Johnson tried to make his mark with a succession of bands, yet big time success remained out of reach. But was he going to give up on his dream?

Not a chance . . .

So when, after the tragic death of Bon Scott, AC/DC hired Brian as their new singer, he gave it his all. And his debut, Back in Black, went on to become the biggest-selling rock album of all time.

Big hearted, touching, indomitable and always laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian is the story of one of the world’s best-loved performers, told in his own inimitable voice.
