I think the Noddy one is definitely true, I’ve not heard the Gary Holton one before though 🤔

"When Bon Scott, frontman of ACDC died of heavy alcohol consumption, Gary was offered an audition. He later told me that it was assumed he would get the job. It was a done deal. He told me he thought it was fate that he was to audition on the same day, one year later that Bon Scott died. He came to the audition carrying a crate of whiskey and told me of the embarrassing silence when the rest of the band went deadly silent. They didn’t offer him the job as they didn’t want another alcoholic as frontman. Gary was gutted."

Wow that’s not something I’ve heard before - i know a lad from Sunderland who’s mates with Brian and he said BJ was in Seaham working mens club when he found out he’d got the AC/DC singers job

Yeah, story I heard was Brian was playing pool and supping ale at the pub he’d auditioned at. Malcolm came downstairs and said he’d got the gig
