A 1970 British TV report on how LED ZEPPELIN have taken over the throne from THE BEATLES as the most popular band in the world, followed by an interview with Robert Plant (vocalist) and John Bonham (drums) has surfaced on YouTube - click below to watch.
A band featuring Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham would not go by the name of Led Zeppelin, a spokesperson for Page said recently.
Jones revealed last month that the former Led Zeppelin stars planned to tour minus their frontman after ROBERT PLANT ruled himself out of any further performances.
The revelation caused many fans to speculate whether the trio would be called Led Zeppelin or go by another name.
When asked about the collaboration, an unnamed spokesperson for Page’s management company, Q-Prime, told Rolling Stone: “Whatever this is, it is not Led Zeppelin. Not without the involvement of Robert Plant.”
