I was born August 26th 1946, I lived in Wembley, North London. My school reports which can only be described as interesting reading with comments such as " Retarded artistically. Idiotic in other respects", Art teacher, "He has great ability, but must guard against a tendency to show off" Music teacher. My music career began as a bugle boy for the Sea Cadet Corp, but I soon realized that this was not for me and swapped over to the drums, at 14 my father purchased my first kit and I began lessons with Carlo Little (early rolling stones drummer). My first serious band was called The Escorts, I also later played for a band called The Beachcombers (famous covers band, principly Cliff Richard songs), my largest musical influences however were Jazz percussionists Gene Krupa and Sonny Rollins. At 17 I joined what would turn out to be one of the largest Rock bands ever and toured the world earning the reputation as one of the greatest Drummers of all time, I also gained a reputation for blowing up toilets at every hotel I ever stayed in earning life time bans from every Hilton, Sheraton, Holiday inn's worldwide and The Waldorf Astoria in New York. My wife Kim Kerrigan bore our first child Amanda on the 12th of June 1966 but later left me for Faces keyboard player Ian McLagan. I had many friends within the music fraternity and It was I that suggested the name "Led Zepplin" to my good friend Jimmy Page who was considering calling his new band "Mad Dogs." Known for being a wild man I once passed out on stage whilst peforming at The Cow Palace, San Francisco, the cause came from the consumption of a series of Horse tranquilizers washed down with Brandy whilst performing "Won't get fooled again". I knew I would bring my own life to a premature end, The wild times eventually caught up with me on the evening of 6th of September 1978, after dining out with my close friends Paul McCartney and his wife Linda. I consumed 32 Clomethiazole pills which were a sedative to control my alcohol withdrawal symptoms, I guess my new doctor had no idea of my history as the pill Clomethiazole is highly dangerous when mixed with alcohol, as it turns out it only took 6 of these bad boys to kill me that night, in the autopsy they discovered the remaining 26 pills still undissolved. My body has been cremated and my ashes spread in Golders Green Crematorium, North London.
