Jason Bonham Says Jimmy Page Gave Him Cocaine When He Was 16

Jason Bonham said he snorted cocaine for the first time at age 16 when Jimmy Page handed him the drug.

The son of Led Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham, took his father’s place during the band’s reunion show in 2007. While the band was on tour, Bonham says Jimmy was the first to introduce him to the drug.

“We got called to his room. … I was 16 at this point, and there was a woman on the floor with a collar on, meowing, and he had this grinder thing … and he turned it over and he went, ‘Here you go,’ and I went, ‘Thanks.’ He’s like, ‘You’ve done this before, right?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, of course I have.’ So he handed it over and I just did all of it, and he went, ‘Just like your father – you know, that was supposed to be for all of us.’”
