She added: “Allan Weaver’s incredible contribution allows fans and collectors to connect with John Bonham in a very personal way“.

Regarding the collection, Allan Weaver told BBC News that he met the late drummer through his wife Beryl, one of Bonham’s wife Pat’s sisters. “When they asked me at work, ‘What’s Bonzo like?’, I’d say, ‘He’s my brother-in-law. We go to the pub, have a couple of pints, have a laugh and all that, do things together.'” Weaver added that it was “a shame” to see Bonham’s clothes locked away in a warehouse, explaining: “People want to see them, I’d rather they come out for people to see than just sit in storage somewhere. I have the memories that no one can take away from me, of actually being with John and sharing so many things, and that’s what’s special to me.”
