kenog Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Source:- www.mirror.co.uk Led Zeppelin son Jason Bonham releases debut album with Black Country Communion By Gavin Martin 17/09/2010 As the 30th anniversary of his father's death approaches, drummer Jason Bonham is going back to his roots. On Monday, Jason - the son of Led Zeppelin legend John 'Bonzo' Bonham, who died on September 25, 1980 - releases the debut album by his new band Black Country Communion. The supergroup includes ace blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa and is named after the Midlands area from where Jason and the group's bassist Glenn Hughes originate. "I'm celebrating my 10th year clean and sober," admits Jason, 44. "For many years I was emulating the wrong John - Bonzo the party guy." Recently relocated to Florida with his wife and kids, this autumn Jason will also stage his own theatrical show telling his version of the Led Zeppelin story complete with live music, narration and home movie back projections.It follows on from Zeppelin's stalled comeback at the memorable 2007 Ahmet Ertegun tribute gig in London. Perhaps the new show is one way of filling a void. "Much as I wanted it to carry on - and I did - that gig was a chapter where I could close the book on the past," Jason says. "I wanted reassurance from the band that I could do it, because my dad wasn't there to tell me." Black Country Communion is out on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
