Led Zeppelin Reunite for November Tribute Concert

by Staff.

It's official. Led Zeppelin will reunite for a performance that's part of a concert tribute to the late Ahmet Ertegun, founder of Atlantic Records. The event takes place on November 26, 2007, at London's O2 venue. Tickets are priced at £125 and available only through a lottery conducted by www.ahmettribute.com. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page (1977 audio and text interview) and John Paul Jones will be joined by drummer Jason Bonham, son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. Says Robert Plant, "During the Zeppelin years, Ahmet Ertegun was a major foundation of solidarity and accord. For us he was Atlantic Records and remained a close friend and conspirator - this performance stands alone as our tribute to the work and the life of our long-standing friend." Also scheduled to perform are Pete Townshend, Billy Wyman and the Rhythm Kings, Foreigner, and Paolo Nutini. Profits from the concert will go to the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund that provides students with annual scholarships to universities in the UK, USA and Turkey. Additionally, a music scholarship open to all will be established at Ravensbourne College in the UK.
