Bon's mirror sells for 12,540 Australian Dollars

Bon's mirror A SHAVING mirror belonging to the late AC/DC singer Bon Scott has sold at auction for $12,540.

The 1975 mirror was bought by a private buyer at a Leonard Joel auction in Melbourne tonight.
The vendor was Scott's former wife, Irene Thornton.


The singer's love letters to Thornton were also up for sale but failed meet their expected minium price of $25,000.

Pamela Moore a singer perhaps more well known as the voice of "Sister Mary" on Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime album has just released her new album "Stories from the Blue Room". In recent times Pamela has worked with Brian Johnson on his "Helen of Troy" project and in an interview in 2005 she was quoted as saying.

AC/DC's Brian Johnson hired Pamela to sing on some songs for a Broadway play – far different from the rock music she's been accustomed to recently. "I'm not sure where that project is at right now, but I can say the experience was awesome," Moore exclaimed. "[Brian's] a wonderful man to get to know and a very prolific and creative writer too."
