Bonham, who performs with
Led Zeppelin as their drummer in the film, will guide viewers through the day with stories about his dad, playing with the band, and his behind-the-scenes experience about the group.
Released in theatres in 2012, "Celebration Day" features
Led Zeppelin as they hit the O2 Arena in London to celebrate the reunion of surviving members
Jimmy Page,
Robert Plant and
John Paul Jones.
Led Zeppelin performs "Whole Lotta Love," "Rock and Roll," "Kashmir" and the signature song that solidified them in rock history, "Stairway to Heaven." The concert will encore at 1:15 p.m. ET, 3:30 p.m. ET and 5:45 p.m. ET.
"It's a great privilege and an honor to be even in the same breath as my father," said Bonham. "To get a chance to play with these peers, with the band as well, you're gonna see what was truly one of the greatest days of my life."
