AC/DC's Brian Johnson: From Geordie To Rock Legend & More!
Ever wondered what it takes to front one of the world's biggest rock bands? It's a story of talent, luck, and sheer tenacity, perfectly embodied by Brian Johnson, the voice of AC/DC since 1980. This is the story of Brian Johnson.
Brian Francis Johnson, born on October 5, 1947, in Dunston, Gateshead, England, is far more than just a singer; he's a lyricist, a storyteller, and a rock icon. Best known for his powerhouse vocals with AC/DC, Johnson's journey to the top wasn't a straight shot. Before he was belting out "Highway to Hell" to stadiums packed with fans, he was a founding member of the glam rock band Geordie in 1972. They even had a few hit singles, including a UK Top 10 hit with "All Because Of You". But fate, as it often does, had other plans.
