Legendary guitarist Jimmy Page finally broke his silence on Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" plagiarism trial and thanked fans for supporting the band.
The 72-year-old co-founder of the English rock band took to Facebook to issue the statement.
"A few weeks have past since the judgment of the 'Stairway to Heaven' case in Los Angeles, with the jury reaching a unanimous decision in a remarkably short time Throughout the lengthy journey to that verdict, and even more recently, I have received and been aware of the overwhelming wave of support, encouragement, and congratulations that has been deeply moving.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to personally thank all those who contributed such a positive energy to me. Thank you, Jimmy Page," he wrote.
Although Led Zeppelin came out as the winner in the copyright infringement lawsuit against Spirit, the case is apparently not over yet. Michael Skidmore, who represents the estate of late Spirit guitarist Randy California, filed an appeal on July 23.
