Zeppelin Pushes Back Comeback
A reunion nearly two decades, 11 albums and 20,000 ticket-holding fans in the making has been waylaid, temporarily, by one foul finger.
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page announced that the legendary band's first concert in 17 years, scheduled to take place in London Nov. 26, has been postponed after he fractured a bone in one of his pick-wielding fingers.
The show has been rescheduled for Dec. 10 to allow Page adequate time to get back in top riffing form.
"I am disappointed that we are forced to postpone the concert by two weeks, however Led Zeppelin have always set very high standards for ourselves, and we feel this postponement will enable my injury to properly heal and permit us to perform at the level both the band and our fans have always been accustomed to," Page said in a statement Friday.
The 63-year-old British music vet has not disclosed how the injury occurred—he doesn't appear to have been in the vicinity of any coconut trees in the past few weeks—or to which digit the damage was done. But the breakage is said to have taken place last weekend and will require three weeks' healing time.
Per the band, Page consulted a specialist who said "with proper rest and treatment," the guitarist will be able to resume rehearsing for the hotly anticipated gig on Nov. 23.
The "Stairway to Heaven" rockers announced the one-off reunion in September, telling fans the concert would serve as a tribute show to Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, who passed away late last year. Ertegun signed Zeppelin back in 1968.
Tickets instantly became a hot commodity, with more than 1 million wannabe concertgoers flocking to the band's special Website to register for the chance to purchase seats.
The group's last full concert—with Page, singer Robert Plant, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer John Bonham—took place in Berlin in July 1980, just two months before Bonham died. His son, Jason, will man the drum kit at the London reunion.
Zeppelin's reunion was supposed to be timed to the release of the double-disc best-of compilation, Mothership, due out Nov. 13. The band's concert film The Song Remains the Same will be released in special-edition DVD and CD form a week later. Additionally, Zeppelin's entire catalog is finally available for legal download.
Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman, Foreigner and Paolo Nutini, Ertegun's last U.K. signing, will also perform at the Dec. 10 event.
Proceeds from the delayed gig will go toward scholarships founded in Ertegun's name in the United Kingdom, the United States and Turkey, the late music mogul's native country.
