    Official Press Release - Announcing Brian Johnson's new autobiography, The Lives Of Brian - Out October 26, 2021

    Pre-order today: http://smarturl.it/T...

    =======


    Brian Johnson, AC/DC’s legendary frontman, will publish his long-awaited autobiography, The Lives of Brian, on October 26th 2021.

    The book will be published in the UK by Penguin Michael Joseph, a division of Penguin Random House, by Publishing Director, Rowland White. It will be published simultaneously in the US by Harper Collins.

    Johnson joined AC/DC in 1980 after the death of original lead singer Bon Scott.

    His first album with the band, Back in Black, went on to become the biggest-selling rock album of all time.

    After a quarter century of platinum albums and record-breaking tours, he was forced to quit the band in 2016 after being diagnosed with hearing loss, but made a triumphant return in 2020 with the release of Power Up, which went to No.1 in twenty-one countries. A successful competitive vintage racing car driver, Johnson has more recently enjoyed acclaim as the charismatic presenter of television shows Cars That Rock with Brian Johnson and Brian Johnson: A Life of the Road.

    Brian says: ‘It wasn’t me. I didn’t do it. And I’ll never do it again.’

    Rowland White says: ‘From growing up in the north-east, the son of a former British Army Sergeant-Major and an Italian mother, to fronting world’s biggest rock band, The Lives of Brian tells one of the best stories in music in Brian’s own inimitable voice. His life has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows during which success as a musician too often felt out of reach. But even when it seemed defeat had been snatched from the jaws of victory he never gave up. And throughout his feet have remained firmly planted on the ground. Warm, vivid, evocative, life-affirming and often laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian is a gold standard rock ‘n’ roll memoir from one of our most well-loved performers. Brian’s one of a kind and I couldn’t be more proud to be publishing his book.’

    The Lives of Brian by Brian Johnson will be published in hardback (£20) by Penguin Michael Joseph on October 26th, 2021.

    Hope to read some new insights. Especially from the 1980-1986 period.

    If the book isn't promoted on AC/DC's official Facebook page, I'll be disappointed. It's not mentioned yet.

    don't hold your breath on that. I will be massively surprised if we get much from 1984 to 2008. I genuinely hope I'm surprised. I'll still be getting it. In fact I've already done the Waterstones pre order thing

    Do any of you all think there would be a problem if I ordered the signed copy from Waterstones and shipped to the US?

    You'll have to pay a tariff, maybe 10-20 dollars because that's what I paid when I ordered from the US to EU.

    Well i've just finalized my order so will wait and see. TBH I've never had an issue with import tax *ever* on other items i've had sent from other countries into the US, so I'm not worried about it.

    At least in EU and EEA, there is no VAT/import tax on books.

    The guy who offered Brian the Hoover advert is the producer of all those classic Monty Python tunes.

    Official Press Release saysHis life has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows during which success as a musician too often felt out of reach.

    Hopefully he'll share his experience of the FOTS-BUYV era. Very excited to hear Brian's take on that.
    It must have impacted him going from no where (Geordie) to absolute rock stars (commercially speaking) then to "just another" rock band in the late 80's.
    Signed copy ordered!
