Washington
(ANI):
Former
Led
Zeppelin
guitarist
Jimmy
Page
had
refused
a
reunion
of
the
group
for
many
years
as
he
was
too
traumatized
by
the
death
of
drummer
John
Bonham.
Page
refused
to
hear
any
of
the
band"s
songs,
after
the
group
disbanded
following
the
accidental
death
of
Bonham,
who
had
passed
away
choking
on
vomit
after
a
session
of
heavy
drinking.
Page
was
so
distressed
by
the
death
of
the
then
32-year-old
drummer,
that
he
avoided
the
band
for
years.
"After
John
Bonham's
death
I
spent
15
years
not
even
wanting
to
think
about
Led
Zeppelin," Contactmusic
quoted
him
as
saying.
"But
I
also
have
difficulty
thinking
it's
all
over.
Now
at
least
one
concert
is
planned
and
I'm
incredibly
happy
about
that,"
he
added.
He
said
that
the
one
reason,
which
convinced
him
to
reunite
with
his
band
mates
for
a
comeback
concert,
was
music.
"If
I
listen
to
our
records
from
that
time
now,
I
think,
'My
God,
we
were
incredibly
good!' We
really
blew
everyone
else
off
stage
and
in
that
way
created
a
separate
status
for
ourselves
in
the
music
world,"
he
said.
Led
Zeppelin
reformed
to
headline
an
upcoming
tribute
concert
for
late
Atlantic
Records
founder
Ahmet
Ertegun
in
London
this
month
(10
Dec
07)
-
but
the
rockers
are
also
rumoured
to
be
planning
a
U.S.
tour
with
The
Cult
in
2008.
