[Python] AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'string

I have a list of URL's where I'm scraping title name of each page by looping the entire list of URLs

The problem is whenever the url is invalid in the list the code is breaking up. so I'm trying to use try and except to pass the error how ever try and except is not working

Below is the code i'm using,(Please correct if I'm missing something here)

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BS
url_list = ['http://www.aurecongroup.com',
'http://www.bendigoadelaide.com.au',
'http://www.burrell.com.au',
'http://www.dsdbi.vic.gov.au',
'http://www.energyaustralia.com.au',
'http://www.executiveboard.com',
'http://www.mallesons.com',
'https://www.minterellison.com',
'http://www.mta.org.nz',
'http://www.services.nsw.gov.au']

for link in url_list:
try:
r = requests.get(link)
r.encoding = 'utf-8'
html_content = r.text
soup = BS(html_content, 'lxml')
df = soup.title.string
print(df)

except IOError:
pass


Executing the above code is giving me AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'string'. Can someone help me with this?
