Jason Bonham Declares Rift with Jimmy Page Ahead of Monumental “Physical Graffiti” 50th Anniversary Tour
In a surprising and dramatic twist, Jason Bonham, son of the legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, has publicly declared a falling out with guitarist Jimmy Page, shaking the foundations of what was expected to be a historic reunion tour. The upcoming 50th Anniversary celebration of *Physical Graffiti*—Led Zeppelin’s iconic double album—is set to storm across North America in May 2025, but the long-standing unity between Jason and Page appears to have crumbled amid mounting tensions.
Bonham, known for carrying his father’s legacy with dignity and thunderous power behind the kit, reportedly feels betrayed after a “big misunderstanding” led to Led Zeppelin distancing itself from his project. “Led Zeppelin count his self out of metal band,” Bonham was quoted as saying, referencing the band’s apparent reluctance to officially endorse the tour.
The tour, despite the personal fallout, is shaping up to be a powerful tribute to Zeppelin’s timeless sound. Jason Bonham will lead a stellar lineup featuring vocalist James Dylan, bassist Dorian Heartsong, and the electrifying Japanese guitarist Akio “Mr. Jimmy” Sakurai. Together, they will perform classics such as “Kashmir,” “Trampled Under Foot,” and the hauntingly beautiful “Ten Years Gone.”
What was intended as a celebration of *Physical Graffiti*’s legacy has now become a battleground of pride and interpretation between two generations of Zeppelin greatness. Bonham’s dedication to honoring his father’s drumming genius is unwavering, even as the shadow of Page’s absence looms large over the tour.
Fans can expect emotionally charged performances that not only honor Led Zeppelin’s past but also reflect the turbulent present of its legacy. Whether this feud heals or deepens, one thing is certain: the music will thunder on.
