Ahead of the book’s release Brian Johnson released this statement via social media.
“I’ve had some long nights and some great nights, some bad days and a lot of good days, and during that time I’ve gone from choirboy to rock’n’roll singer, and now I’ve gone and written a bloody book about it”.
Brian Johnson was also part of a star studded line up, performing at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute show.
Ahead of the gig, the singer said that he was “honoured” to take to the stage for the tribute show, hailing Hawkins as a “lovely man”.
