When Led Zeppelin heard that they were being honored, they invited Jason Bonham to be with them in the honorees section. He turned them down because he said that he had a previous engagement. Little did they know that the previous engagement was playing with Heart, to honor them.

Robert Plant (seated in the middle) & their late drummer John Bonham (his son Jason is playing his father's drum kit) were the closest members of the band.They pretty much grew up together living just 30 miles apart.It was an emotional performance.but,Robert shed tears mainly because John wasn't there to celebrate with them.After John's death it took 8 yrs for Robert to sing Stairway to Heaven again

Also Plant is Jason's God Father, they had invited Jason to join them, he declined stating he had another engagement he couldn't get out of

[@christopherone1]

how do you even know any of this, pure subjective speculation. YOU have never spoken one word to any of these men and have NO idea why he's emotional, Page is near tears as well. AND, Robert repeatedly said he hated the song, "I'd break out in hives if I had to sing it again....too long, who can even remember all the words." It was however true Page didn't, couldn't pick up a guitar, play for over 2 years after John died. THEY WERE ALL close.

The original drummer, John Bonham, was known to wear bowler hats during performances. The choir and his son wearing the hats was a tribute to John. He couldn't be there in person, but he was honored and not forgotten. This is one of the reasons Robert Plant was crying.

Kennedy Honors are done every year at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Heart often does covers of Led Zeppelin when they perform live in their own concerts. The 3 guys with the ribbons around their necks designates they are the honorees. Left to right the remaining members of Led Zeppelin is John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. The Obama duo was there as he was President when this happened. The bowler hats on the choir members is a tribute to drummer John Bonham who often wore that kind of hat. His son Jason was behind the kit for this performance

The best remake of a song I have ever heard. Heart does this song justice and even brings a tear to Robert Plant's eye. It is incredible. Then you have Jason Bonham on drums, the son of drummer John Bonham who died many years ago when he was little. John always wore that style of hat. It is emotional to watch and gives me chills every time I watch it. Led Zeppelin are one of Heart's influences and to perform this was a huge deal for these incredibly talented women. THE KENNEDY CENTER HONORS is an event that honors artists from music, art, literature, movies etc. They bring on people who were inspired by them to speak or sing to them. Usually, the artists they are honoring are in the audience. So yes, that is Led Zeppelin watching them.

[@mebpratt859]

I have watched this performance at least a dozen times and every time the hairs on my arms stand up.

So the 3 'old men' were the remaining members of Led Zeppelin. The drummer is Jason Bonham, his father (deceased) was Led Zeppelin's drummer. When he died (way to young) Led Zeppelin split up as a band. Though they did reform for a one off concert with Jason on drums.

In 1978 the Kennedy Center presented it's first Kennedy Center Honors gala. The rainbow honor medal represents the large spectrum of performers in the arts. Dancers, singers, actors, playwrights, comedians, musicians, directors and producers have all been honored. Led Zeppelin, along with Dustin Hoffman (actor), David Letterman (late night host), and Natalia Makarova (ballerina) were honored in 2012. John Bonham's son Jason played the drums in this tribute to the band. His father wore the bowler hat that Jason had on so in tribute to John the chorus also wore bowler hats. I worked the Kennedy Center honors from 1992 to 2020 and was lucky enough to see this performance. One of the best experiences I had working in that building. You'll also see Debbie Allen, Stephen Colbert, Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Kimmel, and Yo Yo Ma in the audience.

[@katiemcteague]

In all of the years that the Kennedy Center Honors have been broadcast, we have been able to witness some of the most amazing performances that were delivered by top artists as tributes to those being honored. If you do a search on KZbin for Kennedy Center Honors performances and scroll down the list, you’ll be absolutely blown by the number and variety of people who have performed over the years. A recent stand out is Adam Lambert singing “Believe“ as a tribute to Cher. Absolutely amazing performance that brought Cher to tears.

It is the members of the band. They're being honoured at The Kennedy Centre. The rainbows are the medals they received.

It was a complete surprise to the band who had asked Jason to accompany them to this event. Jason had to decline because it was a surprise for them. That's the part in the video where Robert Plant stood up and pointed at Jason because he was surprised.
