Listen to Led Zeppelin on iHeartRadio
Jason Bonham stopped by 98.7 The Gater in West Palm Beach, FL on Wednesday to talk with the rock station's Andy Preston about the new Led Zeppelin CD/DVD Celebration Day, which is in stores now.
Jason talked in depth about the 2007 show at the O2 Arena, the Celebration Day project, and said he was honored and proud to be part of a product called Led Zeppelin. He also talked about the final rehearsal for the show which took place at Shepperton Studios.
When asked to elaborate about why a reunion tour never happened after the O2 show, Jason said he and Robert Plant spoke very long and hard about it. It wasn't simply because Robert had other things going on.
Jason shared a conversation that he and Robert had, and it turns out there were more personal reasons. He said Robert told him "John (Bonham) was the drummer in Led Zeppelin" and that he "struggles sometimes just thinking about trying to create some magic again when he's not there...he was a very, very dear friend of mine, that I miss everyday."
