Led Zeppelin Reunion Tour: Drummer Jason Bonham says 'Only Time Will Tell'

Jason Bonham, who joined Led Zeppelin on drums for their recent reunion show has been speaking about the possibility of more shows.

Bonham, the son of original Zeppelin sticksman John Bonham said that as the “new guy”, he’s unaware of any plans to tour again.

"There's been no talks except to Jimmy (Page) and Robert (Plant) and John Paul (Jones), just to say thanks for the best Christmas present I could ask for,” Bonham told Billboard.

He went on to say: “If they do it again, of course I would love to. But that's up to them. Only time will tell. If you'd have asked me a year ago, 'Are they gonna do a date next year?,' I'd have gone, 'No way!' So I was proved wrong once before."

Bonham is currently the drummer with Foreigner.

As previously reported, bookers at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium are talking to Led Zeppelin about a posible show at the venue.

I have to be honest here and admit that I wracked my little brain for any kind of Crock Pot reference for this entry (some of you will know about my little culinary diversion, lol), but nothing in the whole of Crock Pot history seemed to be of any kind of apropos relevance here. *Sigh.*

On secondary market...

Led Zeppelin’s reunion concert at the O2 Arena in London has been crowned the hottest event of 2007.

The concert, which saw the veteran band play together for the first time since 1988, beat sporting events and Barbara Streisand to the top spot.

“Last year's must-see event was undoubtedly Led Zeppelin's comeback concert at London's O2 Arena, with fans desperate to get their hands on a ticket,” said Joe Cohen, CEO of Seatwave, an online fan-to-fan ticket exchange.

Cohen said that the average price paid for Led Zeppelin tickets via Seatwave was £7,525, with one fan paying £7,425.

Original tickets for the concert cost £125 each and were allocated via a ballot system which attracted over 1 million applicants.

Cohen said that the price of tickets showed that the secondary market was “increasingly becoming a great indicator of an event's popularity.”
