Fancy sharing your bank holiday weekend with two bonafide drumming legends? Well now thanks to the BBC, you can! Dave Grohl will tell the story of John Bonham on 31 May in a BBC 6 Music special.
Grohl, a self-confessed Bonzo fanatic, will trace the Led Zep legend's roots from his first steps in the drum world right up to his tragic death in 1980.
The 60-minute show airs at 15:00 on Monday and we reckon the combination of Grohl and Bonzo means it's well worth cutting the bank holiday BBQ short and dusting off the wireless for an insight into the life of one of drumming's brightest ever stars.
Drummers are basking in the BBC's spotlight of late, after the recent, and excellent, I'm In A Rock 'n' Roll Band devoted an entire edition to sticksmen. Long may it continue, we say.
“We were always going to try to break boundaries and try new things”: It was the first No.1 pop single to feature rapping - and it came from Debbie Harry and Blondie
“I have to try and talk about the neck without sounding offensive or angry”: Johnny Marr says satin finishes have no business being on a guitar neck
