Bonham to channel dad’s musical spirit at the Burt
Jason Bonham, who followed his father, Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham, behind the drum kit, channels his musical memories for Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening at the Burton Cummings Theatre on April 25.
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster. A presale is already underway, with tickets ranging in price from $60 to $376.
Jason Bonham has performed with many artists, including members of Led Zeppelin at the band’s reunion shows. This touring show is with his own group, which will perform the tracks that made his father, who died in 1980, one of rock’s most idolized drummers.
Two men convicted for killing Run-DMC’s Jam Master Jay
Two men have been convicted of murder in the death of Run-DMC star Jam Master Jay.
The brazen 2002 shooting left investigators at a loss for nearly two decades. An anonymous Brooklyn federal jury delivered the verdict Tuesday in the trial of Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington.
The 40-year-old Jordan was the rap star’s godson. The 59-year-old Washington was an old friend who was bunking at the home of the DJ’s sister. Both men were arrested in 2020 and pleaded not guilty.
Jam Master Jay, born Jason Mizell, was gunned down in his studio in front of witnesses on Oct. 30, 2002. Authorities were deluged with tips, rumours and theories but struggled to get witnesses to open up.
Music producer accuses Combs of sex assault
Sean (Diddy) Combs was sued Monday by a music producer who accused the hip-hop mogul of sexually assaulting him and forcing him to have sex with prostitutes.
The suit, filed in federal court in New York, accuses Combs of repeated instances of unsolicited groping and sexual touching. It also says the man had to work in a bathroom while Combs showered and walked around naked.
A lawyer for Combs called the events described in the lawsuit “pure fiction.”
A lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the producer did not immediately return an email seeking comment.
In the lawsuit, the producer claims Combs made him solicit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them. It also described a time when the producer woke up in bed with two sex workers, suspecting he had been drugged.
