Jesse Fink’s new book, Bon: The Last Highway - The Untold Story Of Bon Scott And AC/DC’s Back In Black, will be available in November in North America, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The book will be published in 2018 in France and Japan.

NEWS.com.au is reporting that, according to the book, the late AC/DC legend’s death may have involved a heroin overdose.

The book interviews Scott’s friends who allege the rocker was dabbling in the drug at the time of his death in London in February 1980, aged 33. While AC/DC always denied Scott’s use of class A drugs, two books have claimed he OD’d on heroin in Australia - first in 1975, then in 1976. On the night of his death - listed as ‘death by misadventure’ with ‘acute alcohol poisoning’ - Scott was in the company of known heroin addicts.

“Basically he had a third overdose and this time it got him, that’s the conclusion I come to,” Fink claimed.
