A statue of AC/DC's Brian Johnson was unveiled in Namur, Belgium

A statue of AC/DC's Brian Johnson was unveiled earlier today (Sunday, April 16) in Namur, Belgium to commemorate the first concert he ever played with the band on June 29, 1980 at the city's Palais Des Expositions.

The project came together after a crowdfunding campaign launched by AC/DC fans Michel Remy, Mike Davister and Georges Boussingault, as well as support from the national radio station RTBF Classic 21.

The statue itself was created by the company Design Stone from Libramont using top-quality Belgian Blue Stone, a natural stone mined in Belgium, which is reportedly between 150 million and 350 million years old.
