Jimmy Page allegedly introduced teenage Jason Bonham to cocaine

Rocker Jimmy Page allegedly introduced bandmate John Bonham’s son to cocaine when he was just 16.
Jason Bonham, who replaced his dad in the Led Zeppelin line-up for the band’s 2007 reunion show in London, claims guitar great Page was the first person to offer him the drug at a hotel.
“We got called to his room,” the drummer tells satellite radio host Howard Stern. “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’.”
Bonham admits he used to wear comparisons to his hellraising dad like a badge of honour until his boozing got the better of him and made him realise it was time to get sober.
Now clean for 17 years, Jason admits he is now comfortable being surrounded by other people who are drinking – but he has a bad habit when it comes to chocolate.
“(I’m asked), ‘Do you need us to take the booze out of the minibar?’ and I say, ‘No, but please take the candy out!'”
