The founder of one of the most influential and successful rock bands of all time, the legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, remains a mystery. In this definitive and comprehensive biography of his life to date, Chris Salewicz draws from his own interviews with Page and those close to him to reveal the man behind the mystery.

Having sold over 300 million copies worldwide, Led Zeppelin was the biggest band of the 1970s and has been loved by thousands of fans ever since. From his conversations with Jimmy, the other members of Led Zeppelin, old friends, tour managers, and session musicians, Salewicz reveals the many trials and tribulations that transformed the middle-class young man from the suburbs of Surrey into one of the most enigmatic frontmen in rock.

Detailed, compelling, and expertly researched, the biography explores a man who was ready to die for his art. A warrior-wizard, Salewicz examines the many skeletons and eccentricities in Page's closet, placing him in a context filled with London criminals, deaths, and power struggles, against which Page continues to fight to this day, even within his own band.

As entertaining as it is insightful, and from a writer who experienced firsthand the frenzy surrounding Led Zeppelin, this biography promises to be as close as possible to an autobiography of Jimmy Page for fans.
