Despite being one of the prominent singers of the band, Brian Johnson loves to live his life low-key. He does not seem to share much about his personal life. This might be the reason that both of Brian Jonhson’s daughters prefer to live a normal life out of the spotlight.

Won Battle Against Drugs

Carol Johnson lived a luxurious lifestyle as Brian Johnson’s wife. However, she fell back and had to lose everything after the divorce. She even lost the amount she received as spousal support into the restaurant business and recording studio. She also sold her house, car and had to move back with her mum. All these led her to slip into depression. Her depression led her to try suicide by swallowing a handful of pills. She had also started using drugs and drinking boozes.

Brian Johnson’s ex-wife Carol Johnson was addicted to drugs and boozes. In an interview, she mentioned how she drank and took drugs to give herself the courage to face famous people. She also mentioned that the lavish lifestyle, posh mansions, and cars meant nothing to her. Her addiction to drugs and drinks didn’t stop even after her divorce from her ex-husband Brian Johnson.

Carol stated that she won the battle against drugs and was sober by locking herself in her Newcastle home. She did not go out for two years to stop her addictions.

Divorce Settlement With Brian Johnson

After two-decades-long marriage with Brian, Carol divorced him. The exact reason behind their divorce is unknown, but there is a possibility that Carol’s addiction and Brian’s failure to pay attention to his family might be the reason behind their separation. They went through a bitter divorce. In their divorce settlement, Carol reportedly received $411K as alimony and shared the custody of their daughters.

After their divorce, both Brian and Carol moved on in their life. Brian dated Brenda for a while before tying the knot with her. Carol, too moved on and dated soccer hero Malcolm MacDonald.
