Anthony Joins Bonham’s Zeppelin Evening | Rock Music News

Michael Anthony, Van Halen’s legendary bassist, took the stage with Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening in Costa Mesa, delivering fiery renditions of “Runnin’ With The Devil” and “Rock And Roll.” Though they’ve shared stages before in Sammy Hagar’s bands, their paths diverged last year when Bonham stepped away to care for his mother after a stroke — a move that also saw Kenny Aronoff take over drums. Despite the departure, Bonham still treasures his bond with Anthony, calling him Mikey and reminiscing about their decade-long musical partnership. The current lineup — featuring James Dylan, Dorian Heartsong, Akio “Mr. Jimmy” Sakurai, and Alex Howland — carries on Bonham’s tribute project, originally launched in 2009 to honor his late father, who once played drums for Led Zeppelin himself. The emotional weight of the music, combined with Bonham’s deep legacy connection to the band, makes every performance a powerful celebration of rock history.
