English singer Brian Johnson has been haunted by a “conspiracy theory” over who put pen to paper on the ‘80s hit.
There have been persistent rumors that the late Bon Scott, who fronted the Aussie band before his death in February 1980, had “scribbled most of the words to the album in one of his notebooks before he died.”
“I know there’s an individual who was a conspiracy theorist and that just kept saying, well, Bon wrote these lyrics,” Johnson says, per The Daily Telegraph. “There’s people out there, they just won’t believe what’s true. And I felt awful after putting it down but it had just got on my nerves for so long. I still love listening to Bon’s fantastic lyrics, his double entendres, his funny little quips … I couldn’t do that.”
The legendary album was released just five months after the death of Scott and three months after Johnson officially joined the band, which didn’t help in defusing the conspiracy theory.It was a complete work of musical art, going on to become one of the best-selling albums in history, and was recorded over just seven weeks in the Bahamas from April to May 1980.
