Bon Scott’s estate is sharing archival clips and tributes from rock veterans to honor the late AC/DC singer’s 80th birthday.

- Since Bon's 75th birthday, the estate has curated partnerships with brands like Neumann and Dixxon Flannel, ensuring Scott's image appears on premium collectibles and apparel to introduce his story to new generations of fans.
- While fans celebrate his legacy, AC/DC continues the Power Up Tour, which kicks off its next North American leg this Saturday in Charlotte, North Carolina, nearly 46 years after his passing.
