--Scottish Town To Honor AC/DC's Bon Scott With Statue

AC/DC's late frontman Bon Scott is being honored by his first hometown.  The UK's "Daily Record" says the community group DD8 Music in Kirriemuir, Scotland is spearheading an effort to remember the singer with a statue.  The organization has tapped sculptor John McKenna for the project.  The artist calls it "a great honor" to have the opportunity to pay tribute to Scott in this manner, explaining that the singer is an icon from his teen years.  While Scott is remembered as an Australian rocker, he spent his early childhood in Kirriemuir.  His family moved to Australia when he was six.

Scott has already received a similar honor in his Australian hometown.  A statue of the singer was dedicated in Fremantle, Western Australia in February 2008.
