Led Zeppelin postpones reunion concert
If you had waited almost two decades to see one of the greatest rock bands in history perform, then what would it feel like if the concert was postponed another two weeks?
Led Zeppelin fans who have been waiting 17 years will find out. Now, they will have to wait a little bit longer to see the band perform its reunion show, which was originally scheduled for Nov. 26.
The date was pushed to Dec. 10 after guitarist Jimmy Page fractured a finger.
It is unknown how Page injured the finger but he said in a statement Friday that he is very disappointed about the postponement.
"However, Led Zeppelin have always set very high standards for ourselves, and we feel that this postponement will enable my injury to properly heal, and permit us to perform at the level that both the band and our fans have always been accustomed to," Page said according to E! Online.
Following the death of the band's drummer, John Bonham, in 1980 Led Zeppelin split up. Then, in September of this year, they announced they would be playing one show at London's O2 Arena with Bonham's son, Jason, and the other group members, Page, singer Robert Plant and John Paul Jones on bass.
The announcement sparked a huge excitement in fans all across the world as more than 1 million entered a drawing for a chance to buy one of the 10,000 tickets.
The show will be a tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, the Atlantic Records founder who died last year.
To hold the fans over until December, they can pick up the band's double-disk best-of compilation, "Mothership", which hits stores Nov. 13. A week later, they will be able to pick up "The Song Remains the Same", a special-edition DVD and CD pack.
