In 2005, Classic Rock’s Geoff Barton explored the mysteries surrounding the death of AC/DC frontman Bon Scott in frontman, speaking to those who’d spent time with the singer in the days and hours leading up to his death. These interviewees included UFO‘s Pete Way and Paul Chapman, who have both since passed on. Geoff’s original feature is published below.  

A dozen years later, AC/DC biographer Jess Fink tracked down some more key figures to try to piece together what happened that fateful night. The resultant book, The Last Highway: The Untold Story Of Bon Scott’s Death, was excerpted in Classic Rock in November 2017.
