But with the tragic death of Plant's son & later on his bandmate Bonham, Led zep vanishes from the 80's music scene

Yes, that and the fact that Punk Rock took over. That's the reason they didn't tour again in '81 (?).

Yeah--it says that John Bonham died in 1980 and so did Lennon.

Yes, it's a coincidence. But do you notice it seems to have triggered the end of all that was great in music? The music that came out from 1980 on was mostly corporate garbage, with maybe 3 or 4 exceptions (I dare not name them for fear of insults from some musical idiot). Am I right?
shareYou got a good point.

If you ask me, they still rule the world.
I remember when Robert Plant performed on the Conan O'Brien show just a week or so ago, and he got huge applause from the audience.
Few artists can achieve the staying power like LZ did.
I don't think so. Punk is cool, for what it's worth. But the upstart punk bands circa 1980 could never dream of achieving the lofty heights of success that Zeppelin had reached by 1980. Punk was no threat at all to Zeppelin.
They threw in the towel when John Bohnam died, to their eternal credit. They said they could never be the same band with another drummer.

They were rehearsing for a U.S. tour when Bonham died in September of 1980. Within weeks of Bonham's death, the surviving members released a press statement that the band was breaking up for good. Hence no more tours (until Page & Plant many years later).
