The Man Who Made Led Zeppelin Untouchable

Описание: CRAZY Led Zeppelin Folklore (Richard Cole: Led Zeppelin Tour Manager)
Richard Cole was one of rock music's biggest characters. The tour manager for British heavyweights Led Zeppelin, he and the band got up no end of hijinx that have gone down as legend. Cole was the fearsome and once much feared tour manager for Led Zeppelin for almost all of their career. As second in command under the group’s equally formidable manager Peter Grant, Richard – known to his many friends as Ricardo – was not only responsible for the day-to-day business of ensuring their many tours ran smoothly, but also for keeping the quartet amused during the long periods of boredom that occur while travelling.

In this latter capacity he was celebrated as a weapons-grade hell raiser, the instigator of much of the hedonistic excess for which the group became notorious.

Such indulgences led to Richard becoming an alcoholic and heroin addict but, in a remarkable turnaround, he rehabilitated himself completely in the 1990s, and for the remainder of his life became a model of sobriety, the most affable of men, taking afternoon tea with old comrades, swimming regularly and attending AA meetings.

 Born in 1946 in Kensal Rise in north London, Richard left school at 15. His first job was welding handles to milk churns at a dairy, for which he was paid £3 12s a week. He later worked at a motor scooter repair shop, delivered crates around London for a food wholesaler and became a scaffolder on building sites which toughened him up no end.
