AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson will publish his new memoir, The Lives of Brian, on October 26 via Dey Street Books - a branch of HarperCollins Publishers.
The Lives of Brian will cover Johnson's early life and career: growing up in a small town in England, starting his first band, and auditioning to replace AC/DC’s second frontman, Bon Scott, after the singer's tragic death. His induction into AC/DC would eventually lead to the band’s 1980 classic Back in Black.
In a statement, Johnson said, "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 & roll singer, and now I’ve gone and written a bloody book about it."

"It’s been a rollercoaster of a life, throughout which Brian’s kept his feet firmly on the ground, never losing touch with his roots," a synopsis for the memoir states. The Lives of Brian marks Johnson’s second book. His previous memoir Rockers and Rollers: A Full-Throttle Memoir found him writing about his passion for cars and motorsports.
Last year, Johnson rejoined AC/DC after being forced to retire in 2016 due to severe hearing loss. Johnson was able to return thanks to the help of an in-ear technology specialist. He recently sang on the band’s 2020 album Power Up. According to the synopsis, Johnson's retirement will also be discussed in The Lives of Brian.
