AC/DC's BON SCOTT Honored With Permanent Sculpture In Melbourne - Video

08 March 2018

Late AC/DC singer Bon Scott has been honored with a sculpture in Melbourne, Australia.

The three-meter-high-and-two-meter-wide metal-and-plaster sculpture was officially unveiled Tuesday morning (March 6) on AC/DC Lane, named for the Australian rock band.

The sculpture is part of the Victorian Government's "Rockin' The Laneways" Initiative. Cherry Bar owner and booker James Young collaborated with local street artist Mike Makatron on the project.

Makatron said in a statement: "It's an honor to add a permanent 3D element that pays tribute to a great Australian rock 'n' roll band and its lead singer, Bon Scott, but also to music in general. Thanks to all, especially the vision of James Young of Cherry Bar, who instigated the idea and grant application with Creative Victoria."

Quipping that "Sydney has the Opera House and Melbourne has Bon Scott," James Young added that the spot chosen for the sculpture is "the perfect place to honor Bon Scott and to provide inspiration for aspiring musicians and music fans."
