Page: I Didn't Let Bonham Die
That's because legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page was suing a British magazine for libel over a report stating Page stood by and did nothing while bandmate John Bonham choked to death on his own vomit.
Page didn't take too kindly to the allegations and decided to take the glossy, Ministry Magazine, to court. Today Page was awarded "substantial" damages, with Ministry (published by London superclub Ministry of Sound) apologizing to the guitarist and footing his legal bills.
Page's lawyer Norman Chapman said the Ministry story, published in August 1999, claimed Page was more concerned about getting his bed dirty with Bonham's vomit than he was with his friend's welfare. The notoriously hard-drinking drummer died at Page's mansion at Windsor, near London, on September 25, 1980.
The article said Page stood over Bonham casting a spell in Satanist robes and, by doing so, "selfishly and stupidly caused or contributed" to his death.
Chapman said Ministry realized what it had printed wasn't true and agreed to pay Page "substantial" damages, which the musician plans to donate to his favorite charity--the Action for Brazil's Children Trust.
Shortly after Bonham died, Zeppelin broke up. But the band's blues-infused rock classics like "Whole Lotta Love," "Stairway to Heaven" and "Black Dog" have endured, landing the group in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Page hired Bonham's son Jason to play drums in his backing band. He reunited with Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant for the 1994 album Unledded and subsequent concert tours. Last year, Page also played several Zeppelin-themed gigs backed by the Black Crowes, which led to the just-released, Internet-only album Live at the Greek.
