Jason Bonham

Following an album and tour with Debbie Bonham, the younger sister of John Bonham, Bonham was invited to drum for hard rock group UFO. Although they never played live originally, they have played together live twice since, once in 1998 and once in 2004. The album followed up with When You See the Sun. Bonham drummed for Healing Sixes in 2000 and appeared in the film Rock Star which starred Mark Wahlberg. Horn said he chose "The Buggles" for the band's name because, "It was the most disgusting name I could think of at that time.". Proceeds from the album went to charity. The band's sound was characterised by a deliberately synthetic quality, in keeping with the technological subject matter of their songs. Bonham soon put together another solo project which culminated in the In The Name of the Father: The ZepSet which featured the songs of Led Zeppelin. They recorded two albums, the second of which was released after Horn and Downes had replaced Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman, respectively, in Yes.

At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Jason represented his father when Led Zeppelin was inducted during 1996. The video for the song, directed by Russell Mulcahy was - quite appropriately - the first video aired on MTV North America. A year later with Slash and Paul Rodgers, he appeared at Woodstock II in 1994 followed by a stint with Motherload on their Peace 4 Me album. The novelty value of the song led to them being perceived as one-hit wonders, but its success was sufficient to launch both members of the band on successful careers. Bonham drummed for Paul Rodgers on the Grammy winning Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters project. The Buggles shot to fame with their first single released in late 1979. His wedding reception included a jam with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones. The Buggles were a pop/rock band formed in 1977 consisting of Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes, early on including Academy Award-winning film composer Hans Zimmer (who left after the success of Video Killed the Radio Star).

In May 1990, Bonham married Jan Charteris, in Stone, Kidderminster. Adventures In Modern Recording (1981). After a lukewarm reception to his second solo album, Bonham concentrated on session work and guest appearances. The Age of Plastic (1980). The single "Wait for You" taken from the album, was a major success. His first solo album, The Disregard of Timekeeping appeared in 1989.

John Paul Jones believes Bonham's performance was outstanding that night. The following year, Bonham appeared with other members of Led Zeppelin for a "reunion" at Atlantic Records' 40th Anniversary concert in New York. In 1987, Bonham joined former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page for his Outrider album and tour. At 17, he joined his first band, Airrace.

He first began playing drums at the age of 4, and appeared with his father in the film The Song Remains the Same, drumming on a scaled-down kit. Bonham born was in the town of Dudley, Worcestershire.
