AC/DC - Bon Scott Statue Delayed By Kirriemuir Square Redevelopment
February 12, 2014, 10 years ago
According to Thecourier.co.uk, Angus, Scotland hard rockers have been left disappointed with the news that a statue to rock icon Bon Scott has been delayed.
Kirriemuir’s favourite musical son will be back in 2015, after it was announced a tribute to him will not be unveiled at a music festival this year.
The statue was due to be revealed at Bonfest, the town’s yearly tribute to AC/DC’s 40-year career, which draws thousands of people from around the world.
But Graham Galloway of organisers DD8 Music said major Angus Council plans to redevelop the statue’s surroundings will knock the project back by some time.
He said: “We have made the decision to push the unveiling of the statue back to next year’s Bonfest, which will take place in May 2015.
“Artist John McKenna has now started work on the statue after a public vote confirmed the final design will include bagpipes over Bon’s shoulder.
