On July 25, 1980, AC/DC released "Back In Black" in the US, followed by the release of the album in England on July 31. This is the band's first album without major vocalist Bon Scott, who died a few months earlier from strangling his own vomit after getting drunk all night.
AC/DC quickly decided to continue their streak of signing Brian Johnson from the band Geordie to take over the vocalist position, and they headed to the Bahamas for about six weeks to work on the album.
