Robert Plant recently used Instagram to convey birthday greetings to his former Led Zeppelin colleagues, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. The vocalist posted a snapshot of Led Zeppelin with the four original members and wrote: “It is never too late. Happy birthdays, John and Jimmy. “Here’s to wonderful dancing days…”
Fans’ Reactions To Plant’s Message
The birthday message arrived after Page turned 80 on January 9 and Jones celebrated his 78th on January 3. Robert’s photo and remarks were well received by admirers. One of them wrote in the comments section: “Robert, this is very sweet and touching…” Another user commented on the photo, saying: “One of the most stunning band photos ever! Pure gold! Brilliant.” Another Zeppelin fan also offered their birthday greetings, writing: “Many happy returns to them both!” Thank you for your lifetime of inspiration and leading us over the hills.” It’s been more than 15 years since Plant, Page, and Jones performed as Led Zeppelin. Their final performance was on December 10, 2007, at the Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert in London. Jason Bonham, the late drummer’s son, played the drums during this concert.
