Written By: Mudbug on 08/28/08 at 1:46 pm
Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham beats Elvis Presley, John Lennon and Freddie Mercury in a poll on This Day in Music.com to see ‘Which dead rock star you would bring back to life’.
John Bonham was voted into first place with 26% of the votes. Freddie Mercury came second with 22% and Elvis Presley third with just 10% of the votes.
Bonnham died on 22nd September aged 32 after a heavy drinking session. ‘Bonzo’ was found dead at guitarist Jimmy Page's house of what was described as “Asphyxiation, after inhaling his own vomit after excessive vodka consumption”, (40 shots in 4 hours).
The highest placed female act was the US singer Janis Joplin who died from an accidental drug overdose in 1970.
