The post Jimmy Page on Led Zeppelin Touring in the Future: “It Seems Really Unlikely” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Led Zeppelin’s last live gig was in 2007 at The O2 arena in London, with Page, vocalist Robert Plant, and bassist John Paul Jones getting together and playing a 16-song setlist. Son of the late John Bonham, Jason Bonham, replaced him as the drummer.
At the time, it was reported that the group will embark on a tour, and Page confirmed this in a recent interview with BBC Radio 2. According to the guitarist, they considered doing more shows but “it didn’t come off.”
When asked whether Led Zeppelin might get to it at some point in the future, Page gave a disappointing answer.
“It seems really unlikely that there would be a tour in the future,” he said. “Unlike The Rolling Stones, they do sort of know that the fans love that—also I know that with Led Zeppelin [fans too]. But it doesn’t look as though there’s anything in the future, unfortunately.”
Despite not playing together, Led Zeppelin members recently got together in 2018 to commemorate the band’s 50th anniversary. As part of the celebration, the group released an illustrated book and reissued a triple live album How the West Was Won on vinyl.

]]>The documentary, directed by Bernard MacMahon (American Epic), will mark the band’s 50th anniversary and will cover the band’s early years, chronicling the period from their formation in 1968 to their chart-topping second studio album Led Zeppelin II.
The feature will be the first documentary to get an official blessing from the band and will include brand new interviews with guitarist Jimmy Page, vocalist Robert Plant, and bassist John Paul Jones, as well as archival interviews with the Led Zeppelin’s late drummer John Bonham.
The press release also promises to feature never-before-seen footage and to be “the definitive telling of the birth of the world’s biggest selling rock band.”
The documentary is currently in postproduction and will be offered to distributors at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
“When I saw everything Bernard had done both visually and sonically on the remarkable achievement that is American Epic, I knew he would be qualified to tell our story,” Page said in a statement.
“Seeing Will Shade, and so many other important early American musicians, brought to life on the big screen in American Epic, inspired me to contribute to a very interesting and exciting story,” added Plant.
