November 15, 2007, 16 years ago
According to BBC News, a LED ZEPPELIN fan has paid £83,000 for two tickets to the rock band's reunion concert, as part of an auction for the BBC's Children in Need. BBC Radio 2 listener Kenneth Donell, from Glasgow, paid to see the band rehearse and perform on December 10th.
Children in Need is raising funds for disadvantaged young people in the UK.
Led Zeppelin's three remaining members play together for the first time since 1988 in December's sold-out concert.
PETE TOWNSHEND, BILL WYMAN and PAOLO NUTINI will also perform at the show, which is a tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, the late founder of Atlantic Records.
Tickets went on sale for £125 each in October.
Originally scheduled for 26 November, the concert was postponed for two weeks because guitarist Jimmy Page fractured a finger.
Children in Need culminates with a fundraising TV show on BBC One from 1900 GMT on Friday (November 16th).
