How Led Zeppelin were formed after 'room just exploded' creating huge rock icons A palm reader, a trendy church Vicar and Shirley Bassey are part of the unlikely story of how Led Zeppelin formed and became one of the greatest rock n roll bands of all time.

New movie Becoming Led Zeppelin has traced the roots of the band right to the very start - including the first time they played together in a rehearsal space having just met drummer John Bonham.

The bass for the song was played by a young man called John Paul Jones and he and Jimmy got to know each other in sessions like these and became friends.

But the band's formation was much more humble and unlikely in some ways... John Paul Jones wanted to play bass after hearing it booming through jukeboxes of the late Fifties.

Fast forward a couple of years and by now Jimmy Page has quit session music to play the music he loves with the band The Yardbirds and his pal Jeff Beck.
