Following in his late father’s footsteps, Jason Bonham has established himself as one of the world’s greatest drummers.
Having played with the surviving Led Zeppelin members, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant, for the Zeppelin 40th anniversary concerts and helmed solo projects Bonham and The Jason Bonham Band, Bonham has years of experience behind the kit.
Bonham is also a massive fan of Physical Graffiti, declaring, “For me, this isn’t just an album—it’s the album.” He continues, “Physical Graffiti has always been my ultimate Led Zeppelin record, and I set out to honour its 50th Anniversary with 50 unforgettable shows. That vision now looks more like 80 shows! My last tour of Australia and New Zealand was nothing short of electrifying, and I know the April tour will raise the bar even higher. I’m counting down the days until JBLZE share our final powerful celebration of Physical Graffiti together.”
