Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones crossed the stage of the Stockholm Concert Hall — also the venue for the annual Nobel Prizes — to accept the award they shared with Russian conductor Valery Gergiev. John Bonham, the group's drummer, who died in 1980, was represented by his daughter, Zoe.
In a short acceptance speech, Plant recalled that LED ZEPPELIN recorded their last studio album, "In Through the Out Door", in a Stockholm studio in 1979.
"It's a long time ago. Music has been a fantastic passport to us all," he said.
