'Malcom Young was the founder and the driving force of AC/DC, a man who possessed what many have called 'the greatest right hand in rock and roll'. That riff-producing mitt provided the muscle behind such signature songs as 'Highway to Hell', 'Back in Black', 'A Long Way to the Top' and many others, helping AC/DC survive shifting musical trends and numerous in-house dramas to stand tall as the biggest rock band on the planet.
'This first biography to focus exclusively on Malcolm tells of his remarkable rise from working-class Glasgow and Sydney to the biggest stages in the world. One of eight, Young always seemed destined for a life in rock and roll: his brother George was a key member of Australian legends, the Easybeats, and his brother Angus, the oldest schoolboy in the world, stood alongside Malcolm in AC/DC for the best part of 40 years. Malcolm lived hard and fast, enduring incredible hardship when the band first started, surviving the terrible loss of Bon Scott and suffering numerous personal demons including alcoholism. It was a series of severe health problems that led to his death in 2017, aged just 64 from complications arising from dementia. Yet without Malcolm Young, there would have been no AC/DC—it's as simple as that.'
