John Henry Bonham (May 31, 1948 – September 25, 1980), commonly
referred to by his nickname "Bonzo", was an English drummer and
member of the English rock band Led Zeppelin. He was renowned for
his power, speed and "feel" for the groove. During his time with
Led Zeppelin, Bonham became one of the most respected and
influential drummers in rock history. He continues to have
influence on many musicians of many styles to this day. His death
in 1980 was the end of the greatest rock and roll band of all time.
On September 24, 1980, Bonham was picked up by Led Zeppelin
assistant Rex King from The Old Hyde to be at rehearsals at Bray
Studios for the upcoming tour of the United States, the band's
first since 1977. Bonham often became extremely homesick for his
wife and children when he was on tour so soon into the journey he
asked to stop for breakfast, where he downed four quadruple vodkas,
with a ham roll. After taking a bite of the ham roll he said to his
assistant "breakfast." He then continued to drink when he arrived
at the studio. A halt was called to the rehearsals late in the
evening and the band retired to Page's house — The Old Mill House
in Clewer, Windsor. After midnight, Bonham had fallen asleep and
was taken to bed on his side. It was rumoured that he had a total
of forty shots that night. Tour Manager Benji LeFevre and John Paul
Jones found him dead the next morning (September 25). Bonham was 32
years old. The cause of death was asphyxiation caused by choking on
his own vomit. A subsequent coroner inquest found no other drugs in
Bonham's body. John Bonham was cremated and a funeral was held on
October 10th, 1980 at Rushock, Worcestershire parish church near
The Old Hyde farm. This cache is tributed to Led Zeppelin. You will
be looking for a regular ammo can. A little bushwhacking may be
needed. Be careful for briars.
