Geordie are a British rock band from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, most notably active in the 1970s.After AC/DC's lead singer Bon Scott died in February 1980, AC/DC chose Brian Johnson (whose vocal talent had previously been praised by Scott) to take over lead vocal duties.

Brian Johnson (born 5 October 1947) is an English singer and lyricist. Since 1980, he has been the lead singer of the rock band AC/DC.
Johnson was born in Dunston, Gateshead. He is of Italian descent and is the eldest of four siblings. His father, Alan, was a Sergeant Major of the British Army's Durham Light Infantry and a coal miner; he died during AC/DC's Ballbreaker tour. Johnson's mother, Esther (née De Luca), was an Italian from Frascati. When he was young, Johnson performed in various shows with the Scouts, and appeared in a play which aired on television, and joined a local church choir. Johnson's first band was the Gobi Desert Canoe Club. He was also in a band called Fresh. From 1970, Johnson played with cabaret/club band The Jasper Hart Band, performing songs from the musical Hair as well as soft-rock/pop songs of the time. He and other members of the band went on to form Geordie.

His first and only solo single, "I Can't Forget You Now", he released also as a member of Geordie in January 1976 on the Red Bus label. In 1982, a compilation including only Geordie's 1973--1976 ten songs was issued as Brian Johnson's solo album Strange Man on the MCA label. The US 1989 CD Keep On Rocking, with re-recorded versions of the band's twelve known songs was released under the name of Brian Johnson and Geordie as well as the Australian 1991 compilation CD Rockin' With The Boys 1972--1976. Johnson married his first wife, Carol, in 1968. They divorced during the writing of The Razors Edge album. They have two daughters: Joanne (1968), and Kala (1973). He resides in Sarasota, Florida. He is also an avid supporter of Newcastle United, whom he once attempted to buy.

In September 2009, Johnson was diagnosed with Barrett syndrome. This caused AC/DC to cancel several shows on their 2009 tour in support of Black Ice. However, doctors were able to prevent the disease from developing into cancer. According to The Sunday Times Rich List of British millionaires from the world of music, Johnson was worth £50 million in 2011 Brian Johnson (vocals) Vic Malcolm (guitar, vocals) 1972-1975 Tom Hill (bass) Brian Gibson (drums)
