In 1980, drummer John Bonham of Led Zeppelin died from choking on his
own vomit after drinking a huge amount of vodka the night before the
band's US tour. He was 32.

I believe the autopsy report specified only that he choked on vomit.
It left open the question of *whose* vomit it was.

Thanks for the reminder about Bonzo. I went to that Miami Herald site and
caught this:

In 1974, guitarist Robert Frigg of King Crimson announced the band was
breaking up temporarily.

Did you notice their typo (should be Fripp)? That's just friggin' awful!

Friggin' disgusted,
Lou

Upon receiving news that Hoodude had made the remarks below, and after consultations with my Joint Chiefs of Staff, being briefed by
members of my Cabinet and telephone conversations with various world leaders, I have come to the following conclusions:

Poor guy, should have drank a better chaser.

40 shots!! (Or the equivalent thereof.) "A huge amount" indeed.

True. On the other hand, the name "John Bonham" and the word "artist"
don't really even belong in the same post.
