Jimmy Page says he no longer wishes to tour, but he’s still playing guitar. <\/p>\n

The Led Zeppelin<\/a> man, who hasn’t performed in public since appearing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony four years ago<\/a>, spoke to The Sun<\/em><\/a> while attending this year’s Music Industry Trust Awards, held on Monday night at the Grosvenor Hotel in London.<\/p>\n

“The whole sort of, \u2018living out of a suitcase, bags go down at seven in the morning, and then you leave for the plane at midday\u2019, that doesn\u2019t really appeal to me any more,\u201c says Page. “But the idea of playing does, and I am still playing \u2013 of course I am.”<\/p>\n

Page was pictured at the event with Grammy Award-winning producer Mark Ronson, who scored Greta Gerwig’s upcoming fantasy film Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew. <\/em>Led Zeppelin have licensed Stairway To Heaven<\/em> for use in the movie<\/a>, the first time the 1971 classic has been licensed to a Hollywood production. <\/p>\n

Page hasn’t actually toured in a quarter of a century, since completing the Excess All Areas tour with the Black Crowes<\/a> in 2000. Since then, Page has played live only sporadically, with the longest outing a nine-song Tribute to Sun Records set with Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant<\/a> at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2001.<\/p>\n

While Page may still be playing the guitar, his recorded output has also slowed since the turn of the century. He played on a cover of Led Zeppelin’s Rock And Roll<\/em>, released on Jerry Lee Lewis’s Last Man Standing<\/em> album in 2006, and contributed two unfinished songs, Embryo No. 1<\/em> and Embryo No. 2, <\/em>to the 2008 movie It Might Get Loud<\/em>. The same year, Page worked on a studio version of Leona Lewis’s cover of Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love, <\/em>which the pair performed at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
