Led Zeppelin was an English rock band formed in 1968. The group was created by guitarist Jimmy Page and consisted of three others, Robert Plant, Paul Jones, and John Bonham. Bonham died in 1980 at the age of 32– his death signaled the dissolution of Led Zeppelin after twelve years as a group. "We wish it to be known that the loss of our dear friend and the deep respect we have for his family, together with the deep sense of undivided harmony felt by ourselves and our manager, have led us to decide that we could not continue as we were," the rest of the group stated, announcing the end of the band. The group was famous for not only their music but also some excesses, socially unacceptable behaviors, and even alleged abuse. After the split, each went their separate ways career-wise and would occasionally reunite as old friends. Now, they are in their late 70s and still kicking it.
