The importance of Led Zeppelin is evident in the
large number of bands influenced by them are
considered. These include a Wolfmother, Tool , Stone
Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine, Blind
Melon, The White Stripes, or Living Colour
Kingdom Come

Such has been the influence of the band in rock

history have been different formations created in
tribute to Led Zeppelin, among which should be
noted Dread Zeppelin, Get the Led Out or Lez
Zeppelin, composed entirely of women. Led Zeppelin
is also considered as the band that paved the way for
the later seventies heavy metal bands as Deep Purple
or Black Sabbath.
 Disbanding
With the arrival of 1980 Led Zeppelin returned to the
big European tours, announcing a major new North
American tour that year, which could never be made
since the September 25 date was the most tragic in the
history of the group: John Bonham died in Boleskine
House, the mansion of Page, asphyxiated by
accidental aspiration of his own vomit caused by
excessive consumption of alcohol.23 No drugs were
found in the body of the drummer, as was
especulado.24
The idea of continuing never crossed the mind of the
other members of the band despite the rumors of the
addition of new drummer. Prepared an official
statement explaining that nothing was the same
without Bonham, and that it was useless to continue
without him.
