JIMMY PAGE To Form Career-Spanning Band; Says LED ZEPPELIN Reunion Is Not Possible

Led Zeppelin guitarist, Jimmy Page, ruled out any chance of the band playing together ever again today. Page was hosting a playback of his remastered versions of Led Zeppelin IV and Houses Of The Holy at Olympic Studios in London when he confirmed the news.

Asked directly by NME if remastering the albums made him want to reform the band again, he said: "I don't think it looks as though that's a possibility or on the cards, so there's not much more I can say about that. I'm not going to give a detail-by-detail account of what one person says or another person says. All I can say is it doesn't look likely, does it?"

Page also confirmed that he is likely to form his own band and play live material right across his whole career, including his Zeppelin work, in the near future.

He told the Q&A; session: "If I was to play again it would be with musicians that would be... some of the names might be new to you. I haven't put them together yet but I'm going to do that next year. If I went out to play, I would play material that spanned everything from my recording career right back to my very, very early days with The Yardbirds. There would certainly be some new material in there as well."
