Las vidas de Brian

The memoirs of the AC/DC singer, who, after an amazing and eventful life journey, replaced the tragically deceased Bon Scott at the helm of one of the key hard rock groups to sign "Back in Black": a milestone in rock and second best selling album of all time. Brian Johnson was born in 1947 in Dunston, in the Newcastle region of northeast England. His father was a military man who fought in North Africa during World War II and his mother grew up in a wealthy Italian family. At a very young age, Brian fell in love with rock when he saw Little Richard play "Tutti Frutti" on television. Endowed with a powerful stream of voice, he soon began to stand out among the boy scout choir and it didn't take long for him to put together the first cover groups. While working as a draftsman for a large steam turbine company and spending time as an Army paratrooper, he manages Geordie, earning a Top 10 single, Top of the Pops and touring. through Europe and Australia. However, the group's fortunes stagnated, and after a series of failed albums, Brian Johnson found himself broke, separated, with two young daughters and a threat of foreclosure. Despite everything, in his thirties and when it seemed that his dream of rock was fading away, he was summoned for a casting by AC/DC, who, after the tragic death of his singer, Bon Scott, were at an impasse. Brian surprised the Young brothers with his vocal power and lyrical expertise, and they enlisted him to record what would ultimately become the group's biggest hit: "Back in Black," recorded in the Bahamas and featuring anthems like "Hells Bells" or "You Shook Me All Night Long", and which would end up being the second best-selling album of all time. Told with humor and a sensitivity rare among the rock fraternity, "The Lives of Brian" is a rare and moving testimonial from one of rock's great voices.
