A monument honouring late AC/DC star Bon Scott will be erected in his hometown in Scotland.

Born in Kirriemuir, the singer passed away at the age of 30 in 1983 and now community members have decided to salute him by commissioning sculptor John McKenna to design a statue in his honour.

"It's early days, but it's a great honour. Bon Scott was an icon from my teenage years," McKenna told UK publication The Daily Record.

AC/DC bassist Mark Evans said he was happy his pal would finally get a proper tribute.

"It's so amazing that Bon is getting honoured like this... Bon already had a street named after him in Kirriemuir and now this! I look forward to visiting Bon's birthplace in the future," he told music website Ultimate Classic Rock.
