, who was set to appear at State Theatre tonight, has canceled his appearance. To be honest, I really kind of thought this would happen. I found virtually no info about what John's prodigal son was doing right now, no info on his band, no reviews of recent shows. So when I got the notice about the gig not happening, I was not surprised in the least.
Although, it is kind of weird considering that Bonham put this statement up to his Myspace page on Wednesday:
If you are one of the Jason Bonham fans that happen to be luck enough to live in CA or FL, be sure to go check him out taking part in his latest project. Jason has assembled a group of friends…old and new…and they are playing a few shows to honor his friend, the late Daniel MacMaster, lead singer of Bonham. It sounds like they will be playing a wide variety of songs from his whole career. What fun! Check out the article for more info.
The cancellation release had no further info as to why Bonham bailed. Here's a link to the aforementioned article.
