Led Zeppelin have confirmed that a recording their 2007 live show at London's 02 Arena will air on BBC2 next month.
An hour-long version of the concert captured for the band's Celebration Day DVD will be shown on BBC2 on December 8 at 10:45pm. The live album version of the show recently entered the Official Album Chart at number two, one place behind Rihanna's 'Unapologetic'.
Jimmy Page has admitted "it looks very unlikely" that Led Zeppelin will ever play again.
Speaking ahead of the DVD of the band's 2007 London reunion show Celebration Day, which will be released on November 19, Page told Jools Holland on his TV show Later... With Jools Holland last night (November 14), that they won't be doing any more shows. Scroll down below to watch the full interview.
Kiss' Gene Simmons has claimed that he was once given $200million to reform Led Zeppelin.
The bassist was allegedly handed the money by a promoter to use to tempt surviving members, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, to reunite and tour.
Simmons told The Sun: "In 2009/10 I was given a few hundred million dollars in an account by a large concert promoter and given the task of reaching out to Jimmy and Robert and trying to convince them to get back together."
Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant has revealed that he once lied about working for NME to gain access to a festival in Marrakech.
The singer pretended he was a journalist for the magazine so that he could get down the front of the barrier and record the folklore music that was being played by the band on stage.
Plant told The Guardian: "Every year there was a folklore festival in Marrakech and I got a press pass. I said I was working for the NME. And I could get right to the front with my recorder, and there were a lot of Berber rhythms that were spectacular."
Led Zeppelin clashed with journalists at a press conference in New York yesterday (October 9) when asked if the release of their concert DVD Celebration Day could lead to another reunion.
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has dashed hopes of a band reformation by revealing that he can't see them playing together again.
The forthcoming release of the concert movie Celebration Day has sparked speculation that the legendary rock band might share a stage with each other again in the future, although the film's director Dick Carruthers seemingly ruled out the possibility of a reunion last month.
Led Zeppelin have announced four film premieres for their Celebration Day concert film.
The film, which documents the band's 2007 reunion show at London's O2 Arena, will make its cinema debut at the Ziegfield Theater in New York on October 9 before similar premieres in London, Berlin and Tokyo.
Prior to the New York premiere, founding members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones will be joined by Jason Bonham, the son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, at a press conference at New York's Museum of Art.
Here’s Jimmy Page, reminiscing about Led Zeppelin’s 2007 reunion show at the 02. “We wanted to go out there, stand up and be counted,” he said at a press conference held earlier today in London. “To show people who maybe didn’t know Led Zeppelin but had heard a lot about us why we were what we were. And not only that, we had had a really good time that night. We made a lot of people very happy.”
