They were asked to board same plane but not the same flight that came down according the maximum rock n roll.
It's true. When AC/DC was doing their first US tour, one of the bands they supported was Lynyrd Skynyrd. They were asked while still on the tour if they would like seats on Skynyrd's plane that would take them to either too see Skynyrd's next show or to drop AC/DC off at their own next show. Initially, Malcolm accepted the offer on behalf of the band and after talking it over with the band whom with the exception of Angus were all keen on the idea were going to go through with it until Malcolm talked it over with his girlfriend (now wife) and she basically told him that he better back out of it because she would like to see him in between gigs on days off. So, the band ended up canceling their flight arrangements. They were in the middle of their English tour when the plane crashed. Malcolm did go and visit Skynyrd's bassist Leon in the hospital and the day he was discharged Malcolm took him to the bar for a couple of drinks. While he was recovering from the accident, Leon went on tour with AC/DC.
