The story of AC/DC's legendary front man in his own distinctive voice

'It wasn't me. I didn't do it. And I'll never do it again!' says Brian Johnson of The Lives of Brian.

That AC/DC's legendary front man got to do it all is one of the most cheering and entertaining stories in rock 'n'roll history.

The Lives of Brian offers an exclusive first-hand look into the life of one of the world's greatest rock stars, Brian Johnson. Follow Brian on his journey through childhood, his love affair with music and worldwide fame. Hear tales about AC/DC's best and worst moments on tour and in life. See Brian and the band like never before in Brian's heartfelt and exciting memoir.

For over a decade he tried to make his mark with a succession of bands.

He appeared on to Top of the Pops, toured Australia and yet the big time looked out of reach.

Then he was invited to London for an audition for one of the world's biggest rock acts.

Reviews for The Lives of Brian

Think Monty Python meets This Is Spinal Tap . . . Both a rollicking tale of rock's bygone glory days and a deeply human account of a working-class boy who never gave up. Told in Johnson's light, engaging prose, it's everything you want, and didn't know you wanted, from a rock-star memoir * Mail on Sunday * A story full of splits, triumphant returns and no shortage of outrageous incidents * Mail+ * A tale of fate, serendipity and dogged determination * Mojo * Johnson is a natural storyteller * Mail Online * Warm, starkly comic and uplifting ... The Lives of Brian is a literary twin of an AC/DC album - wild material woven together seamlessly, and always leaving you wanting more. * Hot Press *
