According to Undercover, Nick Barker - an Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist who formed the Melbourne-based rock, power pop band NICK BARKER & THE REPTILES - has scored the role of telling the story of Bon Scott in the forthcoming stage production Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be – The Story Of Bon Scott.
Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be will document the story of the AC/DC singer through his various bands THE SPEKTORS, THE VALENTINES and FRATERNITY before he went on to become the second singer for AC/DC and ride that job all the way to international success.
Barker was a huge fan of AC/DC and modelled his career on Scott. “The impact that AC/DC had on me as a teenager was huge. Even growing up as a musician I spent a lot of my time playing in pubs and AC/DC was the benchmark,” he said in a statement.
“Bon Scott is an Australian icon as much as Ned Kelly. We’re doing his show with the humility and truth that it deserves.”
