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.

Brian Johnson

Brian Johnson originally joined the BBC as an engineer. He spent three years with the army, being trained in radar 'in time to celebrate VE Day', and was then posted to the Middle East where he ran a Forces Broadcasting transmitter. On demobilization he returned to the BBC, joining the Television Service in 1951, becoming a film cameraman and then a producer with outside broadcasters, directing programmes as different as sport and music.
