February 19th marked the 40th-Anniversary of AC/DC frontman Bon Scott’s death. To honor his legacy, Perth Australia made history yesterday (1st), by making the band’s iconic sixth album, 1979’s Highway to Hell, come to life. A section of Canning Highway was transformed into a rolling stage for all to participate in an actual highway to hell. The West Australian reports over 150,000 fans showed up as the crowd gathered around celebrating the life of the late singer. Just as promised, bands performed on the back of rolling trucks covering AC/DC classics.
