Jimmy Page Plans to Tour in 2013

It appears that the prospects of seeing Jimmy Page live in a town near you are growing by the day. In the latest affirmation from Page that he intends to either tour or release new music next year, the guitarist stated to Guitar World Magazine, "“This time last year I intended to be actually playing by now in a live outfit, so that will have to be postponed now into sort of next year, tail end of next year. But I definitely want to be doing that.”

Of course as Guitar World Editor in Chief and author of Light and Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page had previously pointed out in his interview with Finding Zoso when asked about Page's plans for the future, "I’ve seen the process a couple of different times and every time he’s sort of really gets on a roll putting something together, some sort of Led Zeppelin business comes up and derails him. That’s happened a couple of times, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you see something come out next year. I know he’s been working on some new things for a while and the ideas are really cool and I know he’s gone quite a bit of way to realize them. I think we may see something next year and it will be really cool. It will surprise you."

Tolinski also added when asked about a presumptive Jimmy Page tour, "I would imagine that he would. I know that he loves to play live and that he loves to tour so I would think that he would. He’s certainly playing very well, anyone who has seen Celebration Day can see that he’s playing as well as he has in years and years and years."

With the release of Celebration Day and the near completion of the remastering process for the Led Zeppelin discography, one can only hope that Jimmy will now be able to turn his attention toward the thing he does best; making and playing music.
