September 25th, 1980 - John "Bonzo" Bonham, of Led Zeppelin, died of asphyxiation on his own vomit due to consumption of alcohol. The group decided to disband when they determine that their drummer cannot be replaced.

It's sad that the world lost two amazing drummers to the same thing within about two years of each other. Both John Bonham and Keith Moon's deaths were preventable, and there's no good reason both aren't still with us 30+ years later.
