Fed up with waiting for his former band mates to return to the Led Zeppelin fold, Jimmy Page has vowed to return to the stage next year with some new music.
“We’re running up to Christmas now and next year I have every intention of playing music live and manifesting it,” Page told Britain’s Sky News. “I’ve got the music waiting, and that’s what I’ll be doing. It’s been two years since the 02, so it’s time to do that.”
Robert Plant is expected to return to the studio with Alison Krauss to work on the follow-up to the Grammy-winning Raising Sand, while John Paul Jones has been on the road with Josh Homme and Dave Grohl as a member of Them Crooked Vultures.
Apart from co-starring with the Edge and Jack White in the documentary It Might Get Loud, the 65-year-old Page has mostly kept a low profile since Led Zeppelin’s brief reunion at London’s O2 Arena in 2007.
Page reportedly has an album’s worth of new material ready to go, some of which was debuted in the film.
So far he has been tapped to appear at the Show of Peace concert on April 17 at Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing. Other acts invited to participate in the event include the Black Eyed Peas, Prince, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Coldplay and Green Day.
