Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page has revealed how he was finally persuaded to agree to a documentary about the pioneering British rock band.

Page – who played guitar in the foursome, which also included singer Robert Plant, bass player John Paul Jones and the late John Bonham on drums – revealed at the Venice film festival how he turned down a lot of “pretty miserable” pitches over the years to make a documentary about their incredible success in the 1960s and 70s.
