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."

What's the latest on Jason Bonham?
Well get on with it then. From a link on plants page, he is "moving to a new space" "air and space are moving". could be a flashback, and perhaps T-bone farted. In any case he is no longer a "Delta Blues man" now hes discovered appalacian soul. This is perplexing to those of us who did not know he was a "Delta Blues Man" and also, how he managed to avoid "discovering" bluegrass music while playing with Jones and Page, for 10 years, in Led Zeppelin. Im wondering if hes forgotten III or maybe, hes just never listened to it. The last seems more and more probable every time he opens his mouth these days.
