Bon was born in Scotland in 1946 and moved to Australia with his family aged six, arriving in Melbourne. Shortly afterwards the family moved to Perth. In 1974 he joined the newly formed AC/DC and the band gained huge success in the late 1970s. Bon Scott lived excessively and in February 1980, Bon died in a car outside a friend’s apartment in London, following a huge drinking session. His body was returned to Perth and his family held a private service at Fremantle Cemetery, after which his ashes were interred at the cemetery and a plaque installed by the family in the Garden of Remembrance. A bench seat with a plaque was installed by the family two years later. The statue in Fremantle was made by Greg James and was unveiled at Saturday 25th October, 2008.
