An affectionate, honest tribute now updated with new revelations about the rock and roll icon who helped make AC/DC an international sensation


The second edition of Bon: The Last Highway includes a brand new 16-page introduction. Fink examines…


• New information from French media that changes what we know about who was with Bon Scott the night he died

• The London drug-dealing connections of the late Alistair Kinnear

• A possible heroin link involving the late Yes bassist Chris Squire

• Revised theories on how Bon died

With unprecedented access to Bon’s lovers and newly unearthed documents, this updated edition contains a new introduction and more revelations about the singer’s death, dispelling once and for all the idea that Scott succumbed to acute alcohol poisoning on February 19, 1980.


Meticulously researched and packed with fresh information, Bon: The Last Highway is an affectionate, honest tribute to a titan of rock music.
