Rock ‘N’ Roll Curses That Still Haunt Fans Today
Legends of curses have circulated around the rock ‘n’ roll industry since the early 1900s. Some are based on fact, while others are entirely made up. The lack of science behind someone supposedly learning guitar skills from the devil hasn’t stopped people from believing in these curses, though.
If you dream of rocking out on stage, you’ll want to be careful, because rock musicians seem to attract paranormal malice. Even if you avoid Faustian bargains and receiving song lyrics from Charles Manson, you still might get voodooed. Here are several supposed curses that terrorized rock ‘n’ roll bands.
To start, check out a devilish tale that originated in the ’20s and supposedly affected bands 50 years later.
Led Zepplin’s Faustian Bargain
Shortly after the band formed in 1968, a rumor unfurled that three of the four founding members–Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Bonham–made a Faustian deal with the devil to bring them fame. While the band did become successful, the three members later suffered from the supposed curse.
Plant ended up in a serious car crash, which left him unable to walk for some time. Afterward, his young son Karac died from an unidentified stomach virus. Page and Bonham both passed away from addiction in 1980, ending Led Zepplin. John Paul Jones, the only member who supposedly didn’t partake in the ritual, survived unscathed.
