Tom Morello wrote:

“40 years ago today the great #JohnBonham passed away. Prior to his passing demand for the upcoming In Through The Out Door Led Zeppelin US tour was so high they had to hold a lottery for just the chance to buy tickets for the MULTIPLE Soldiers Field shows. I was lucky enough to actually get tickets, had already nervously asked my #1 (totally out of my league) crush to be my date, and was so psyched I couldn’t stand it.

I remember when news of Bonham’s death filtered through the halls of the school. I was in study hall when someone came in and said “John Bonham’s dead!” I was in absolute stunned disbelief. Crushed, I went home and tearily listened to my Zep records. They would never tour again. I reflected on how lucky I had been to have seen them in ‘77 on the previous US tour at the Chicago Stadium when I was only 12. I remember Bonham being a confident monster on the kit. We still miss you, Bonzo. Salute to the greatest to ever do it.”
