Broken Pinkie Delays Led Zep Comeback


Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has told Sky News how sorry he is the band's comeback gig has been postponed because of a broken finger. The band's one-off reunion show in London is thought to have prompted 20 million people to try to get tickets - but it has been delayed by two weeks after Page fell over in the dark.

"The light was very dim and I tripped over something and I landed on various bits of my anatomy but of course the crucial part was left hand, little finger," the normally publicity-shy guitarist explained.

The show at the O2 Arena has now been moved to December 10.

"It's unfortunate about the postponement but what can you do? I feel really sorry for the all people involved in the show and the fans who may have been inconvenienced, but roll on the 10th," he added.

The show - the band's first proper gig in two decades - is a charity event in honour of the man who signed Led Zep in the US, Ahmet Ertegun. (Sky News)
