Led Zeppelin is set to release a long-awaited Documentary entitled “Becoming Led Zeppelin“. The Director of Led Zeppelin’s Documentary, Bernard MacMahon is on record and stated that he never thought that a documentary featuring the life of Led Zeppelin would ever come to light.

Bernard MacMahon’s stated this due to Led Zeppelin’s rapid rise to fame and their largely undocumented career. Bernard MacMahon was therefore reliant on both archived visual and audio material being identified and restored before the Documentary could be made.

If you think of an early Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Band, Led Zeppelin is your Go-to Band. Led Zeppelin was formed in 1968 and it has been said that their musical influences derive from Blues and Folk Music’ in particular.

The Led Zeppelin lineup consisted of Roger Plant (Lead Vocalist), Jimmy Page (Guitarist), John Paul Jones (Bassist/Keyboardist) and the late John Bonham (Drummer) who is to also feature in the Documentary.

The sad passing of John Bonham led to the disbanding of Led Zeppelin, although they reunited briefly in the 1980s. Led Zeppelin has released 8 Studio Albums, 4 live Albums and 9 Compilation Albums throughout their career. Led Zeppelin provided their consent for the release of their Documentary after 53 years.

The Documentary “Becoming Led Zeppelin” was first announced on May 19 for Led Zeppelin’s 50th Anniversary in 2018.  The Documentary will feature new interviews by remaining band members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. Archived interviews featuring the late John Bonham are also included in the Documentary.

It has been reported that the remaining band members of Led Zeppelin felt confident with tasking the making of their Documentary to Bernard MacMahon following the success of his Documentary Series “American Epic“.

Led Zeppelin has announced their comeback and is set to release a new Studio Album on September 21. They have also announced a World Tour with Ringo Starr as their Drummer. There are no dates confirmed at this time.

Although the Documentary “Becoming Led Zeppelin” is complete, there is no release date for the long-awaited Documentary.
