Jason Bonham touring with Paul Rogers

While waiting for Black Country Communion to release it’s second album and begin touring in June, Jason Bonham will not be lounging around the house waiting for the unemployment cheque. Bonham will be touring the UK with Paul Rodgers in April.

Rodgers, who has previously been with Free, Bad Company, The Firm and Queen will be touring the UK in support of his upcoming solo CD, his 31st album.

Joining Rodgers on the tour will be Bonham on drums, Heart guitarist Howard Leese and bassist Lynn Sorensen.
