 Like Father, Like Son
At the age of only five, Jason Bonham (son of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham) could play the drums, at least a scaled-down set of them, with skill and by the age of 17 he was a already a member of the band Air Race and was signed by Atlantic Records. John Bonham died in 1980, but Jason, who has marked a few places in music history himself, has stepped in from time to time to help keep his father's memory alive. In 1988, Jason took his father's spot in the televised, first-ever Led Zeppelin reunion at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert, which included Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones. Later than year. he went on to tour with Page and recorded the album Outrider with him. Now Bonham is once again honoring his legendary late father with the "Led Zeppelin Experience" tour.
