“We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.” Led Zeppelin’s fans roar as Robert Plant starts to sing one of the crowd’s favorite songs, “Immigrant song”. Led Zeppelin became one of the most globally popular British bands of their era who triumphed through highs and lows in the music industry.

Three out of four bandmates are still alive and are involved in many activities. The band made little effort to rejoin after Bonham’s death. Every member went off and had their own plans. Led Zeppelin was still distributing songs, but they weren’t actually creating any new music.
