John Bonham's Mother Has Died

According to Led-Zeppelin.org, Joan Bonham has passed away at the age of 81 after a long illness. Click this for the full story.

From the article...

"Joan was a singer, most notably one of the principal lead vocalists of The Zimmers, a 40-piece British band originally created by BBC television for a 2007 feature documentary on the conditions and feelings of the elderly, as part of the Power to the People series. In September 2008, the band released its first full-length album Lust for Life. Joan was also a fan of big band music, such as the Benny Goodman, and Harry James bands. She also ran a newsagency business in Hunt End, Redditch, Worcestershire, England."

One other thing that I noticed was that she had three children: John, Deborah and Mick. John, as we all know, passed away in 1980 and Mick died in 2000. Sad, children aren't supposed to pass away before their parents.

My condolences to the Bonham family.
