Led Zeppelin is further being presented to the masses next month.
Already announced were the band's first reunion concert since the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1995 as well as the releases of a two-disc anthology and expanded live reissues.
Now a date has been set for the band's debut in the world of online digital media.
The band's songs, published by Warner/Chappell Music, are going online for sale on digital media sites on Nov. 13. The date coincides with the U.S. release of Mothership, a heavily promoted career-spanning CD set.
Another component of the group's entrance into the world of digital media is the availability of authorized cellphone ringtones using full Led Zeppelin songs.
"We are pleased that the complete Led Zeppelin catalogue will now be available digitally," Jimmy Page said in a statement. "The addition of the digital option will better enable fans to obtain our music in whichever manner that they prefer."
Jason Bonham
Jason Bonham, son of the late John "Bonzo" Bonham, does not take lightly the responsibility of carrying on his father's legacy. Having made a head start at drumming while he was a child, Jason is now passing on the same lessons to a third generation of Bonham drummers.
John Bonham's death in 1980 left such an impact on the surviving members of Led Zeppelin that they knew immediately they could not continue as they were. Yet Jason Bonham's familiarity with the band made him a shoe-in to join his father's bandmates on the few occasions reunion concerts have taken place.
This year marked the 20th anniversary of Bonham's most successful album release to date, the Platinum-certified disc The Disregard of Timekeeping released by his band, Bonham. To mark the milestone, he recently toured with a new band and played under the banner of "An Evening with Jason Bonham."
In the past, Bonham has also toured and/or recorded with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Foreigner, UFO, Paul Rodgers, Joe Bonamassa, Virginia Wolf, Airrace, Healing Sixes and Motherland. He also acted in the movie Rock Star and appeared on the reality TV show "SuperGroup."
