A brand new interview with LED ZEPPELIN guitarist Jimmy Page will air on the October 8 episode of "CBS This Morning" between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. EDT. The interview, which was conducted by CBS News foreign correspondent Charlie D'Agata, was recorded on September 24 at the National Portrait Gallery in London, where LED ZEPPELIN held an event to promote the band's upcoming official photo book. Due on October 9, "Led Zeppelin By Led Zeppelin" is the first and only official illustrated book by the band.

It comprises hundreds of carefully curated images and artworks personally selected by the band, from the iconic to the unseen.
