| Jason Bonham | Rock Star | Dumb movie, but I'm sure many people liked it. Jason of course is the SON of the late great John Bonzo Bonham of Led Zeppelin. Jason plays a drummer in this movie, which in real life he is a drummer and taught by the best! His DAD. He will be drumming for the upcoming Led Zeppelin Reunion Gig at the O2 Arena in London. Dec. 10th, 2007. It's actually a Charity Event, but Jimmy Page himself stated in Guitar World/Player...recently. He'd like to perform a few more shows, otherwise why let the genie out of the bottle at all. AND THAT is NOT his exact words. My apologies. I don't have the article handy. - ZepFan | ||
