Death Summary: John Bonham died the classic rock star death, one that is rumored for many others it seems, but actually happened to him. He basically drank a whole lot (beginning with a breakfast of four quadruple shots of vodka), went to sleep and drowned in his own vomit.
The coroner recorded: accidental death as a result of asphyxiation from vomit.
Led Zeppelin broke up and went their separate ways claiming that they could not continue on without their drummer and dear friend.
Who was John Bonham : John "Bonzo" Bonham was the legendary drummer of classic rock band Led Zeppelin, and hailed by many as the greatest rock drummer of all time.
He was with the band from the beginning to the end and technically brought the end with his death.
He was well known for his amazing drum solos, in particular, Moby Dick, which was on the album Led Zeppelin II, but was often performed live much more extravagantly. When the rest of Zeppelin gets back together for various events, they typically have Bonham's son Jason filling in for his father on drums.
