I remembered I had this quote scanned in, but I don't remember where I got it from so it isn't that much help - but FWIW I think Jimmy was speaking figuratively - it is a very English thing to say things and not mean them in the literal sense - like Robert's recent quip about getting married.
December 15th 1981 - Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Peter Grant attend the Golden Lion in Fulham for the Roadies Charity for Children raffle presentation.
I agree - and the paper-like quality of his skin. I have a photo I took of him in 1981 which I have never shared because he looks so awful. I honestly did not think he would survive that era and that makes seeing him so happy and healthy now even more wonderful.
Just a bit of a laugh - I'm not a Cliff fan, but that was the name of one of his biggest hits. His sexuality has long been the subject of gossip but it doesn't interest me at all
Not in my opinion! Lovely though he is.
