After decades of silence, Jimmy Page has finally addressed the question fans have been asking for years—will Led Zeppelin ever return to the stage?
When asked about the future of Led Zeppelin, Page didn’t hold back. In an interview with Metro, he said:
“I think the future of Led Zeppelin is the past.’ But does that truly mean the door is closed for good?”
Led Zeppelin’s 2007 reunion at the O2 Arena was nothing short of magic. It was the first full-length Zeppelin show since 1980, honoring the late Ahmet Ertegun. And yet, despite months of rehearsal and overwhelming demand, no tour followed. Instead, whispers of a continued reunion faded into silence, leaving fans wondering—was that truly the end?
Robert Plant has been the biggest roadblock to a Zeppelin comeback. While Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones auditioned singers in 2008, Plant made it clear—there would be no tour. To him, the O2 Arena show was the band’s proper sendoff.
Led Zeppelin has been making headlines once again, this time for Becoming Led Zeppelin, their first official documentary. The film, covering the band’s meteoric rise from 1968 to their legendary festival performances, has rekindled excitement around the group. With the documentary expanding to over 1,000 screens, it’s clear the demand for Zeppelin has never faded.
Imagine this—one final show, one last chance to see the surviving members of Zeppelin take the stage together. Would it be a fitting farewell or an impossible dream? And if it were to happen, who would take on the impossible task of filling John Bonham’s shoes?
