A major Led Zeppelin tour is being planned for later this year. Just one thing: it won't feature any of the members of Led Zeppelin. What it will feature, however, is Jason Bonham, the son of Zep's late drummer John Bonham.

Called Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience, the tour is still in the early stages of planning. But it is said to be 30-date, multi-media show to commemorate the 30th anniversary of John Bonham's passing.
The 43-year-old, who played with surviving Zeppelin members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul at the group's much-celebrated show at London's O2 Arena in 2007, was gung-ho to hit the road with Zep for a full-scale tour. But after Robert Plant pulled out and suitable replacements couldn't be found, those plans were laid to rest.
But that isn't stopping Bonham from mounting his own Zeppelin tour, and he's even searching for possible collaborators for the show, which will illustrate the band's history through archive footage and live performances.
