Bad Boy Boogie is a celebration of Scott’s life, providing fans with the story of his unlikely success. Its author, Jeff Apter, has written more than 20 music biographies, including a recent dive into the world of AC/DC alumni George Young (Friday on My Mind 2020), Malcolm Young (Malcolm Young 2019) and Angus Young (High Voltage 2018).
