Brian Johnson (born October 5 1947 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England) is a singer best known as the front-man for the Australian hard rock band AC/DC.

Johnson joined AC/DC in 1980, after the death of band's former lead singer Bon Scott.

Before AC/DC, Johnson had joined the Newcastle glam-rock band Geordie in 1972. The band split up in 1976 but Johnson managed to re-form the band in 1980. Just after a record contract had been signed, Johnson was asked to join AC/DC.
