Back in 2007, at the O2 Arena in London, it was the members of Led Zeppelin's first and only time performing together in thirteen years. But in an interview with VanyalandJason Bonham, who is the son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, believes that the remaining members will rejoin onstage again.

Ever since John Bonham's death in 1980, the members of Led Zeppelin have not gone on tour since. As of now, they have only played 5 shows in the last 35 years. Of those nights was the performance mentioned earlier which featured Jason, who filled in as his father's role as the drummer. "In my heart of hearts... I do believe we will play together again," Jason says. "It remains to be seen if it will be in public or privately, but I do think we will play again."

"What made the O2 so perfect was the preparation. Every other time, we really just got together in an afternoon and gone over a couple songs and that was it. For the O2, we blocked out rehearsals for six weeks; Monday through Friday four hours a day. A lot of it was talking as well about how we wanted it to be. We did the first three songs, so it was like clockwork, like a first-turn crash in a car race. If we can't past the first turn scot-free, then the rest of the gig will be great. That was very important to all of us to be comfortable on those three songs - and it worked. It really did, and it shows in the show."

Jason said if he could play three songs alongside his father if given the chance, he would play "In My Time of Dying," "Nobody's Fault But Mine" and "Kashmir."
