While Bon Scott may have fronted the Australian band AC/DC, the singer was actually born in Scotland and spent his early years in the town of Kirriemuir. The city has been working to find another way to pay homage to Scott. While there is an annual 'Bonfest' event, this year saw the unveiling of a new statue in honor of the late vocalist.

The sculpture of Scott had been in the works for a few years as fans from 32 countries around the world raised £45,000 for John McKenna to create the statue as the centerpiece as the town’s memorial garden, which is also dedicated to Scott. As can be seen in the video above taken from the unveiling ceremony, the Scott statue portrays him as a long-haired rocker in his sleeveless denim jacket and jeans with one arm raised while the other clutches bagpipes. A mosaic featuring the Scott words, “And the music was good and the music was loud, and the singer turned to the crowd and said ‘Let there be rock.’” surround the statue.
