Jason Bonham recently left Sammy Hagar’s band after the Best Of All Worlds tour ended. Bonham shared that he planned to perform with JBLZE [Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening], and now, Hagar has finally spoken about it.
The drummer posted a video from one of his recent shows on Instagram. Hagar commented, “Congratulations getting back in that Zep groove I’m sure comes natural my brother.”
However, some fans weren’t happy with Hagar’s response. One user replied to Hagar’s comment: “Your brother that you kicked out of your band?”
Another fan commented, “Sit down.”
Bonham had been absent from the last few shows of the tour due to a family issue. He left Sammy Hagar’s Best of All Worlds tour in late August but didn’t explain why at the time. Kenny Aronoff took over for Bonham during those dates.
Bonham later explained that he needed to be with his family because his mother was dealing with health problems. Just a few days ago, the drummer confirmed that leaving the band wasn’t his choice.
When Bonham shared the tour dates for JBLZE on Instagram, a fan’s comment revealed the real reason. The fan asked, “C’Mon Jason… Can we get some Los Angeles dates? Also will you be rejoining Best of All Worlds band?”
Bonham responded, “Sammy has decided to carry on with Kenny so sadly no.”
Bonham continues with JBLZE, while Hagar is expected to announce ‘big news’ this week.
