Meanwhile, Led Zeppelin recently released a deluxe reissue of their album ‘Physical Graffiti’. The re-release, which came out on February 23, followed similar reissues last year of the band’s first three albums, as well as ‘Led Zeppelin IV’ and ‘Houses Of The Holy’.

At an album playback for the reissue, Jimmy Page said that he needs to get “match fit” in order to play live again.

“How it starts off is that you have to play guitar and get match fit, so currently I’m sort of in the process of doing that but I’m also in process of doing this [reissue series] too,” the guitarist said. “[Live shows] would more or less be closer to the end of the year rather than next month. But you know, I’m definitely warming up on the touchlines, let’s put it that way.”
