I didn't write this it's from an article just thought it was worth sharing.
"A statue of LED ZEPPELIN's John Bonham has been unveiled in his home town of Redditch, England on what would have been his 70th birthday.
The majority of the funds for the memorial, which was created by sculptor Mark Richards and is situated at Mercian Square in Redditch town center, came from a private donor.
The six-feet-high and 16-feet-wide bronze sculpture, which depicts Bonham seated behind his kit, weighs more than five thousand pounds and is covered in anti-graffiti paint.
The sculpture, set on a plinth inspired by LED ZEPPELIN's album Houses Of The Holy, is emblazoned with the words: 'The most outstanding and original drummer of his time, John Bonham's popularity and influence continue to resonate with the world of music and beyond.'"
I think that's fairly said. Glad to see he's still remembered.
