SteveAJones Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 He declined to join Jeff on at least three occasions in Tokyo, despite Jeff asking him directly. It will not happen now that Jeff is no longer here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in_the_evening Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Agree with Steve. He won't be there playing live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woz70 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) He's not played live in front of an audience in nearly 12 years. He's 79 and, by the looks of it, not terribly steady on his feet any more. He's turned down or ignored multiple opportunities to play live or record with others. His main guitars spent a significant amount of time displayed in a museum - meaning if he actually does any practise at all (as he claims.... I have my doubts), it's mainly been on the acoustic. He's done as a player. I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong. Edited March 11, 2023 by woz70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was raising him as an example of misguided optimism. He reckons Page is probably practicing already for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvlz2 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Over at the Royal Orleans forum yesterday there were some posts made by @Cookie0024 saying there will be no Jimmy Page performance. When asked if this came direct from Jimmy Page's people and how he knew, @Cookie0024 responded that his information did not come from any official spokesperson for Jimmy Page, but from a source with knowledge of the lineup for the shows. https://www.royal-orleans.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=48080&start=50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADK-Zeppy Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I wouldn't expect a man at Jimmy's age to perform in public. Despite the desire to perhaps do so, age has it's limitations and Jimmy always seemed be on his game (to me); He was and continues to be a source of inspiration for many of us. His longevity as a musician spanned several eras of Rock music and that alone should stand as a “monument” to his skills and influence on shifting musical tastes.

reids Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I think he’s long since retired from the stage. He likes attending others concerts. Here’s recent pictures backstage at the O2 London… R😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohjimmy Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Thanks for sharing! Jimmy looks in good spirits. Happy and healthy. I just saw Robert in concert on Wednesday night in Toronto and he looks great too. Also seems happy and in great spirits. He put on an incredible show with Alison.

Paganini Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Unfortunately, Jimmy has been done with playing, in public anyway, for many years now. Probably down to a combination of declining health, it’s rumoured he’s got some joint issues in his wrists/fingers and a lack of any real motivation to do so. He’s nothing to prove and still takes a keen interest in music and the arts in general. I wish him well in his old age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
