Brian Francis Johnson is an English singer and songwriter best recognised for his over three decades long association with the Australian hard rock/blues rock band AC/DC as its lead vocalist. He got introduced to music as a kid and performed in different shows with the Scouts and remained part of local church choir. He developed interest in rock & roll in his teens and performed with few bands before co-founding the British glam rock band ‘Geordie’. The band that spawned hit singles called it quits in 1978 only to be re-formed in 1980. Meanwhile the eventual death of lead vocalist Bon Scott of AC/DC led it to scout for an eligible replacement. The other members of AC/DC, who happened to had positive reviews about Johnson from Scott earlier when the latter once saw Johnson singing for Geordie, finally zeroed in on Johnson whose strong yet grave voice fitted the bands high voltage hard-hitting rock style perfectly. Johnson’s tenure with the band proved to be one of its most thriving periods when it churned hit albums like ‘Back in Black’, ‘For Those About to Rock’ and ‘The Razor's Edge’ thus upping its global popularity quotient to new heights.
