One is the singer of the hard rock band AC/DC
There's another Brian Johnson that leads the Worship with his wife Jenn in Bethel Redding, California.
Brian Johnson (born October 5, 1947 in Dunston, Gateshead, England) is a singer best known as the front-man for the Australian hard rock band AC/DC. He currently lives in Sarasota, Florida, USA.
Johnson joined AC/DC in 1980, after the death of band's former lead singer Bon Scott. He is credited with pushing the band in a more heavy metal direction, beginning with his first album with AC/DC, Back in Black, now regarded as a rock landmark and one of the five top-selling albums of all time. It and his subsequent albums with the group have made him one of the most recognized and emulated voices in rock music.
Before AC/DC, Johnson had joined the Newcastle glam-rock band Geordie in 1972. After a number of hit singles, the band split up in 1976 but Johnson re-formed it in 1980. Just after a record contract had been signed, Johnson was asked to audition for AC/DC. He got the job by singing the Ike and Tina Turner song "Nutbush City Limits," and AC/DC's own "Whole Lotta Rosie", which was performed in 1977 with Bon Scott. He was the band's first choice. Unbeknownst to Johnson, a fan in Cleveland, Ohio had sent a Geordie album to AC/DC shortly after Bon Scott's death, urging them to consider him. And years earlier, Bon Scott himself had also praised Johnson's singing and energetic performance style to the rest of AC/DC after seeing Geordie play. (According to legend, this was the night Johnson was rushed to hospital after the show to have his appendix removed, which accounted for his writhing around on the stage.)
For ten years, Johnson cowrote all of AC/DC's songs with the Young brothers until personal matters diverted him in 1990, when the band's album The Razor's Edge was being written. Johnson now handles all the lead vocals, for the band, with backing vocals by Malcolm Young, Cliff Williams, and occasionally Angus Young when performing "T.N.T.".
Johnson's sartorial trademark is that he is seldom seen in public without a cap, pulled down above his eyes. Originally, he wore a flat cap, once regarded as a symbol of Tyneside (Bryan Ferry wears one on the back of his album Taxi), but in recent years, he has generally worn a baseball cap instead. Despite the headgear, he has a full head of hair.
Johnson's father was a Sergeant Major of the British Army's Durham Light Infantry; his mother came from Italy. Johnson credits his father for giving him his shouting voice.
Johnson's marriage, which produced two children, ended in divorce shortly before he joined AC/DC.

The lyrics to Brian Johnson's song "Where you go I go" speak of complete surrender and devotion to God. The first verse says "Where You go I go, What You say I say, And what You pray I pray." This means that the singer is willing to follow God wherever He leads and to speak the words that God speaks. The second verse speaks of Jesus' own surrender to God and how He only did what He saw His Father doing. The singer realizes that he cannot walk without God, because Jesus never did. He wants to live in complete surrender to God, because God alone is worthy and good.
The chorus repeats the same message of following God wherever He leads and saying what He says. The bridge of the song speaks of the beauty and glory of God's name and how it will be visible on the faces of those who follow Him. The song ends with a declaration of the singer's commitment to following God, no matter what may come his way.
Overall, the song is a reminder to Christians to live lives of complete surrender to God, following Him wherever He leads and speaking His words. It is a call to not compromise in our devotion to God and to never forget what He has done for us.
