JASON BONHAM

Jason Bonham was the first-born child of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. During Jason’s childhood, having guests like Paul Rodgers, Jeff Beck & Bev Bevan over was the norm. “They were just friends of dad” he says. Growing up in the Led Zeppelin family “wasn’t as wild as one would think,” he says, with the exception of when Ozzy would visit to hang out with John, and one day resulted in “two drunken men with shot guns shooting trees.” When he was 17 years old, his band Air Race went on tour opening up for Queen. Since his father died when he was so young, the members of Queen took him under their wings and took on the role of introducing him to the world of rock & roll. “They taught me so much about those days of rock & roll; of excess and debauchery.” In 2007, he was asked by Robert Plant to join Led Zeppelin for a one night only reunion, which he described as an “out of body experience.” He continues to honor his father’s legacy by touring as Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening.
