Well, kind of, not really. After Bon death, the band received a letter from a 14 year old fan, telling them how this Brian Johnson would make a perfect replacement for Bon. After reading the letter, Malcolm recalled that the band had earlier seen Brian Johnson perform, at that Bon had commented on how great a singer Brian was. So AC/DC auditioned him and hired him.
