Peter Mensch, the manager of Led Zeppelin-legend Jimmy Page, has claimed there is a very real possibility that the guitarist could join band members John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham and go on tour.

In an interview with BBC 6 Music, the industry figure said the trio are likely to hit the road in the future and may even record new material.

Mensch said Page is a musician and his passion is playing the guitar and making sounds people enjoy, meaning there is a real chance that they will go on tour, despite the fact that lead singer Robert Plant is said to be against the idea.

He stated the trio had a great time rehearsing together recently and that they are keen to come together once again.

"They decided that if they could find a singer that they thought would fit their bill - whatever their bill was at this stage in their career - that they'd make a record and go on tour," he told the news provider.

In other Led Zeppelin news, singer Robert Plant is to receive a CBE gong from the Queen in the New Year's Honours list.
