John "Bonzo" Bonham, aged 32 and already a hard-core alcoholic, consumed approx. 40 shots worth of vodka in about 24 hours before and during a Led Zeppelin rehearsal at Jimmy Page's house...he was put to bead, already passed out, and that's where they found him dead, hours later, today 1980...less than 3 months later, Led Zeppelin called it quits...
