BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN MELTDOWN
JOHN BONHAM’s son JASON suffered a minor meltdown before taking to the st age with LED ZEPPELIN at the band’s reunion gig in 2007 - he became so fr ustrated he crushed his drum pedals under the wheels of his car.
The Foreigner star stepped in to replace his late father at the legenda ry group’s one-off concert at London’s O2 Arena and admits he was under s o much pressure in the run up to the performance, he snapped and destroye d his equipment.
Bonham admits he can now look back on his moment of madness and see the funny side - likening it to a scene from rock parody movie This Is Spina l Tap.
He tells Nightwatcher’s House Of Rock, "My biggest Spinal Tap moment wa s a stupid one as well. When we were rehearsing for the Zeppelin O2 gig, I was having an argument with my drum pedals. I actually took them outsid e, and drove over them several times with the car. Shouting at them and t elling them they’ll never work again. That would have to be the stupidest one that I could think of."
