As a child he began performing in his father's pipe band, and following the family's relocation to Australia in 1952 he quit school at age 15, later playing in a local rock outfit called The Spektors. By 1967 Scott had joined the Melbourne-based group The Valentines, making his recorded debut with the single 'Everyday I Have To Cry'; the band soon emerged as one of the most popular on the Aussie circuit, in mid-1969 issuing an EP, 'My Old Man's A Groovy Old Man'. A drug bust destroyed The Valentines' public image, however, and after cracking the national Top 30 with their 1970 single 'Juliette' the band dissolved; Scott soon joined the Sydney blues-rock unit Fraternity, issuing the LP 'Livestock' in 1971. 'Flaming Galah' followed a year later; in 1973, however, Scott was involved in a motorcycle accident which left him comatose for several months, during which time Fraternity disbanded. After recovering he worked a series of odd jobs before recording a demo as a member of the short-lived Mount Lofty Rangers; finally, in 1974 Scott joined AC/DC, recording the group's debut LP 'High Voltage' a year later. AC/DC's ascent to international stardom culminated in 1979 when their LP 'Highway To Hell' reached the U.S. Top 20; however, on February 19, 1980 Scott died in the wake of an all-night drinking binge, with the surviving members of the band tapping new vocalist Brian Johnson to record the classic 'Back In Black' just a few months later. The 1997 AC/DC box set 'Bonfire' celebrated Scott's contributions to their legacy.
