Biography

Showing the Discogs bio

John "Bonzo" Bonham was a UK drummer, born May 31st 1948 in Redditch, Worcestershire. He was the drummer of Led Zeppelin from when the band started in 1968. Bonham died on Sept. 25, 1980 in Windsor, Berkshire, after an alcohol overdose. Led Zeppelin quit a couple of months after this occasion, realizing that they couldn't live up to the expectations without Bonham. His younger sister Deborah Bonham is an English rock and blues vocalist.
Bonham was married to Pat Phillips, and the couple had two children; Zoe Bonham (Zoë) (born 10 June 1975), a singer-songwriter who appears at Led Zeppelin conventions, and Jason Bonham (born 15 July 1966), a drummer who has played with UFO, Foreigner, and Bonham.
