Led Zeppelin's charity reunion show has been postponed two weeks. Guitarist Jimmy Page, who apparently is human after all, has broken a finger. The London show was scheduled for November 26th but will now take place on December 10th.
Said Page:
I am disappointed that we are forced to postpone the concert. 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.
If you already made plans to go to the show, that sucks, but hey, it's Zeppelin, so you'll be quiet and like it. It's better to have Jimmy Page at 100% than to try and go ahead with this show. Jimmy Page with a broken finger is like Batman without the Batmobile.
For those of you wondering about a Zeppelin reunion tour, the band continues to claim that it's not happening. It appears that they only play charity events. So, my fellow Americans, I think our mission is obvious. It's great that Zep is playing this show, but London is too far away. We need to find a charity that is Zeppelin-worthy and convince the band to add another gig over here. Can we get one of those Make-A-Wish kids to take one for the team? Or is that not big-time enough? Either way, let's try to figure out a reasonable solution and hook it up. My life won't be complete until I see the "Stairway" solo played live.
