<P> In the July 2004 issue of UK magazine Classic Rock, Scott was rated as number one in a list of the "100 Greatest Frontmen," ahead of Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant . </P> <P> Scott is the subject of five books: Clinton Walker's Highway to Hell (1994), his ex-wife Irene Thornton's My Bon Scott (2014), the variously - authored Live Wire (2015), J.P. Quinton's "historical fiction" Bad Boy Boogie (2016), and Jesse Fink's Bon: The Last Highway (2017). Fink's book claims that Scott died of a heroin overdose, while Walker backs the coroner's finding of alcohol poisoning . The controversial point that he and Walker both agree on is that a lot of Bon's lyrics were co-opted, uncredited, into Back in Black . </P>
