April 30, 2010, 14 years ago
Drummer Jason Bonham (LED ZEPPELIN, BONHAM) has issued the following update regarding the news that broke this week that he'll be hitting the road in North America on JASON BONHAM'S LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE tour:
"Well looks like the cat is out of the bag! First off, I would like to correct the news that broke today on the world wide web. I read today that I would be performing the Led Zep story! Well, what I will be doing is 30 shows in memory of my father, as its 30 years since he left this world this September 25th, 2010.I have always loved playing the music of Led Zeppelin and after such a great night back in 2007 at the 02 Arena, I took an opportunity to do a very special show which would look at my life with the music of Led Zeppelin. Old photos, home movies and videos would help take you on a journey into my life, from my earliest memories right up to the 02 show .
There is still a lot of work to do on this project and I want to make sure it's done tastefully and with the detail it deserves! Thanks for all the emails and good wishes and even the bad ones, it all helps, really it does."
No word yet how this will affect the debut album from the highly anticipated supergroup consisting of guitarist Joe Bonamassa, Glenn Hughes (ex-DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH), drummer Jason Bonham (BONHAM, LED ZEPPELIN) and keyboardist Derek Sherinian (ALICE COOPER, DREAM THEATER, KISS, BILLY IDOL). The album is done and in the can in anticipation of a September 2010 release.
