As their tour operator for 12 years, the author witnessed the making of the band and the often bizarre life-styles of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones. This book tells the stories behind the myths: how a diverse rock group of musicians became one of the most powerful, popular and enduring rock bands of all time; how the group's unparalleled appetite for sexual excess exceeded the wildest rumours; how they had an almost mystical chemistry between them during their concerts; the friendship with Elvis and The Who; the tragic death of Robert Plant's son; the truth about Page's dabbling in black magic; and the group's descent into heroin, alcohol and other drugs, which ultimately proved fatal to drummer John Bonham.
