Jimmy Page Year-by-Year: Photos 1963-2020
We re looking at the life of Jimmy Page with pictures of the Led Zeppelin legend from 1963 up until the present day.
Raised in the London suburbs, Page began playing guitar at the age of 12, entranced, like many budding British musicians of the day, by skiffle, rockabilly and the blues. He d gotten enough experience playing in local bands that, by the age of 15, Page quit school to focus on music and, as a member of Neil Christian and the Crusaders, played on their 1962 single The Road to Love when he was only 18.
But a bout with mononucleosis took him off the road, and he enrolled in art school, which led him into the London blues scene. Page soon found himself in bands with names like Carter-Lewis and the Southerners and Mickey Finn and the Blue Men, but more importantly, he began to make a name for himself as a session guitarist. He played on early tracks by the Kinks, the Who and Van Morrison s first group, Them.
