Today in music history: 1979 - Led Zeppelin Release Their Final Album
On August 22, 1979, Led Zeppelin released their eighth and final studio album, In Through the Out Door, in the United States. This album marked the end of an era: just over a year later, drummer John Bonham tragically passed away, and the band disbanded soon after.
Why This Moment Matters
• In Through the Out Door showcased a more synthesizer-driven and introspective sound, a notable departure from Led Zeppelin’s hard rock roots.
• The release signaled the close of a monumental career—Led Zeppelin had shaped rock music in the 1970s in a way few bands ever did.
