HE SAT BEHIND THE DRUM KIT AND ROBERT PLANT COULDN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES. Twenty-seven years had passed since John Bonham died, and Led Zeppelin had vowed never to reunite because “no one could replace Bonzo.” But at the O2 Arena that night, the vow was broken in the most emotional way possible. When the lights hit the drum riser, the person sitting there wasn’t John, but Jason – his son.

How John Deacon gave a Queen classic a punk feel: “He played it on a Stratocaster”

February 27, 2026admin0

Punk might have established itself as the abrasive to commercial, mainstream rock back in the 1970s, but the divide between those two very disparate musical worlds wasn’t always quite as binary as the likes of Johnny Rotten might have you believe.
