The Album That Almost Killed Led Zeppelin — Presence and the Recording Nobody Wanted to Make

On August 5, 1975, Robert Plant's car went off a road in Greece. He broke his ankle, his elbow, and couldn't walk for months. Led Zeppelin cancelled a world tour. Unable to return to England for tax reasons, they sent Plant to Malibu — where he wrote an album from a wheelchair, furious at Page and Peter Grant for keeping him from his family. Three months later, they had 18 days in a Munich basement before the Rolling Stones arrived. Jimmy Page didn't sleep for two days. Plant sang through the pain. The result was the album Led Zeppelin's own members call their most important — and their least understood. Led Zeppelin Presence. Presence album story. Led Zeppelin 1975 1976.
