JIMMY PAGE On LED ZEPPELIN Reunion Tour: The Spirit Has To Be There

June 17, 2008

In an exclusive interview with Xfm, LED ZEPPELIN guitarist Jimmy Page has said that it's not his or indeed, anybody's job to persuade Robert Plant to participate in any further reunions. Plant is currently touring with Alison Krauss.

Jimmy Page was speaking to Xfm shortly after he and bandmate, LED ZEPPELIN bassist John Paul Jones, scooped the award for Best Live Band at the Mojo Honours List 2008. Not bad going for band who, prior to last December's one-off, hadn't played a full gig together since 1980.

Asked if he'd tried to subsequently persuade vocalist Robert Plant to rejoin the band, the legendary guitarist responded: "I'm not going to persuade anyone to do anything. It's just like the O2, you do it in the spirit of your heart, don't you? You either do it or you don't."
