Jimmy Page Bio (Age)
The OBE recipient is the son of James Patrick Page, an industrial personnel manager and Irish mother Patricia Elizabeth Gaffikin, who worked as a doctor’s secretary. He was born originally with the name James Patrick Page on the 9th of January 1944, in Heston, in Middlesex, England. When he was eight, the guitarist moved to Feltham with his family, after which they relocated to Miles Road and to Epsom in Surrey, where he got his first guitar.
Jimmy started playing the instrument at age 12 and later enrolled in Kingston for a few guitar lessons. Page, who largely taught himself guitar, learned his first chord from a fellow student but his decision to take up the guitar was inspired by Elvis Presley’s song “Baby Let’s Play House” while his early influences were renowned American guitarists – James Edward Burton and Scotty Moore who died in 2016.
A few years after Jimmy Page left school while touring with singer Neil Christian, the musician became seriously ill with glandular fever (also known as infectious mononucleosis) due to frequent travels in a bus. He decided to quit touring and put his musical career on hold. It was during that period that he enrolled at a Surrey-based art institution called Sutton Art College to study painting.
Did we mention that the guitarist launched his musical career in London? Yes, Page actually started out as a studio session musician. Before he formed his band, he played with the English rock band, Yardbirds for two years (1966 – 1968). Jimmy Page launched his mainstream career in 1957. Although he has slowed down his activities due to age; he still remains one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. As the founder of the all-time great band, Led Zeppelin, he played influential roles in the advancement of the group to the top-most height of their career before their breakup in 1980.
