Update: LED ZEPPELIN's JIMMY PAGE Could Not Be Coaxed Into Playing At Brazil Fundraiser
November 30, 2009, 14 years ago
LED ZEPPELIN fan-site Lemon Squeezings reports:
JIMMY PAGE, despite appearing as scheduled at a fundraiser on Saturday for a shelter bearing his name, reportedly could not be coaxed to join the musicians for what would have been his first onstage appearance all year, outside of some brief jamming at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in April.
In the YouTube video below, Page is seen making remarks at a microphone and playing "air guitar" in the absence of a real guitar.
Stiletto Group has provided one of the most complete event summaries so far. As translated from Portuguese, the November 29th story says many young musicians played songs including Led Zeppelin's 'Heartbreaker' during the event. Another translated report from O Globo says a 10-year-old drummer by the name of João Terra Santos was disappointed Page did not end up playing with him.
