AFP has issued the following report:
LED ZEPPELIN guitarist JIMMY PAGE said the fractured finger that caused their long-awaited reunion concert to be postponed was the result of him stumbling around in the dark.
The rock hero told BBC radio he fractured the little finger of his left hand when he tripped over a stone slab in his garden.
The accident caused the hard-rocking British band's concert at London's O2 Arena to be put back from November 26th to December 10th. The legendary group split in 1980 and have not played together for 19 years.
"I didn't just come down on my hand, I came down on other parts of my body as well. But of course it was the hand that had a bit of an injury to it," said Page, 63."It's got a fracture in the little finger of the left hand, which is a nuisance because it's really needed. It's just going to take a little while for it to heal, that's all.
"It's not permanent damage. I've broken fingers before, a lot worse than this."
The guitarist said he expected to resume rehearsals soon.
