When whispers spread that the band wouldn’t play, guests leaned in — confused, concerned. It was Jimmy Page’s daughter’s wedding, and something felt… unfinished.

Over the decades, the relationship between Robert Plant and John Paul Jones has reflected both their shared legacy and occasional personal distance. In Led Zeppelin, Jones was often the quiet backbone, contributing not just as bassist and keyboardist but also as an arranger and composer whose subtle influence helped shape the band’s genre-defying sound. Plant admired Jones’s musicianship, but their personalities were quite different—Plant being more outwardly charismatic and flamboyant, while Jones was more reserved and behind-the-scenes. After Led Zeppelin’s breakup, Plant and Page stayed in the spotlight, often performing together, while Jones pursued a quieter but highly respected solo and production career. His exclusion from the Page and Plant reunion in the 1990s hurt him deeply—he even joked on stage about finding out from the newspapers—but he never publicly lashed out. By the time of the 2007 reunion at the O2 Arena, they had reconciled professionally, and Plant later praised Jones for his brilliance and contributions. While they’ve not collaborated closely since, their bond remains rooted in the unique and powerful legacy they built together in Led Zeppelin.
