I feel very tired, both physically and emotionally. So here is a post I got from Yahoo about one of my favourite groups.


Led Zeppelin announce one-off reunion gig
ITN - Wednesday, September 12 04:38 pm

Led Zeppelin have announced plans for a reunion gig
in memory of "a giant of music".

The band will perform for the first time in 19 years in tribute to the late founder of Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegun, who signed the band in 1968.

It comes after singer Robert Plant confirmed that the rumours about the band's comeback were true, but he explained it'd be for one night only.

The show at the O2 Arena in London will take place on November 26. Tickets, which are limited to two per person, will cost £125 and are available by ballot only.

The group's three original members, singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones, will perform with late drummer John Bonham's son, Jason, on drums.

The Who's Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings, rock band Foreigner and Scottish 20-year-old star Paolo Nutini, will also play on the tribute night.

Plant said: "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."

Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones split after drummer John Bonham died in 1980.

Since then, they have performed only a handful of gigs, including Live Aid in 1985 and an Atlantic Records anniversary gig three years later.
