Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis: Whole Lotta Love

The moment. Jimmy Page in pony tail with his sunburst Les Paul. Leona Lewis does a good job of singing Whole Lotta Love, but it's not really in her style. None the less, the collaboration works. Try to ignore the dunderhead TV commentators who don't seem to realize SHUT UP WHEN SOMEONE ON STAGE IS SINGING!! Sheesh!

Jimmy Page, Leona Lewis and David Beckham: Olympic Breakfast Interview

An interview with the three main parties of the London Olympic committee interviewed prior to the closing ceremonies:

Band, looking for singer

Led Zeppelin seems to be a rather official three peace band in search of a singer, as Jason Bonham has announced that he is leaving Foreigner.

I've been over [to England] a couple of times, I've been working with Jimmy [Page] and John Paul [Jones] and trying to do just do some new material and some writing. I don't know what it will be, but it will be something.

My time with Foreigner is coming to an end. This is the first time I've talked about it. I leave at the end of this month so, I mean, I'm looking forward to taking some time out to be with the family really. Since I moved to America I've been on the road, so my first priority is to go and watch my kids grow up, because they've grown up way to fast in the last four years.

Clearly something is in the works with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, and the main question is, will Robert Plant join them? If not, who will sing?

Whole Lotta Olympics

When Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis perform for the world at the closing ceremonies of the Bejing Olympics this Sunday (August 24th), they will be playing Whole Lotta Love.

What, exactly, they would play was supposed to be a secret, but bassist Guy Pratt has let the cat out of the bag on his personal blog:

You may also be interested to know that when Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis perform Whole Lotta Love at the end of the Olympics, that’s me playing bass on it.

Happy Birthday Robert Plant

Born on this day 60 years ago, he is the voice and face of Led Zeppelin. When I was very young I, and I have met many since who think so, thought he was the guy Led Zeppelin.

Besides Led Zeppelin he has a solo career that spans over 25 years, 8 albums, plus an EP of R&B classics under the band name "The Honeydrippers." Most recently he has done a successful collaboration with bluegrass singer Alison Krauss.

Welcome to your pension years Mr. Plant. Perhaps it's time for that one last big tour, you know, while there's still time.

Jimmy Page to Play the Olympic Closing Ceremonies

The Olympic closing ceremonies on August 24th will feature a handing over of the Olympics to London for the 2012 games. Part of the handing over will feature a performance by R&B singer Leona Lewis with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page:

David Beckham will star at the Olympics closing ceremony in Beijing as the handover to London 2012 gets under way.

The spectacular event on August 24 will also see Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page performing a duet with pop star Leona Lewis.

And an incredible finale will feature Becks, 33, arriving on top of one of London's iconic red double-decker buses - before he kicks a football into the crowd to celebrate.

Let the guessing begin: what song will they perform.

Reunion Goes Cold

Those like myself who watch for evidence of a Led Zeppelin reunion can't help but noticed how the trail seems to be getting very cold these days.

This week an old rumour was shot down when Gerry Toms, Grounds Boss at the Wales' Millennium Stadium, said:

It's dead in the water (not happening). Because the concert was a success there was hope of a tour, but that was a lot of speculation. It would be great if they would, but as far as we know that is dead in the water.

That's not ambiguous or open to interpretation. It also comes on the heels of rumours that Robert Plant is miffed with Jimmy Page after Page gave a lengthy speech, after accepting Led Zeppelin's Best Live Act, at the Mojo Awards last month and failed to mention the absent Plant.

This all comes at the same time as Robert Plant and Alison Krauss extend their tour into the fall. September and October dates in Texas, Missouri and the West Coast make Jimmy Page's "nothing until September," a distant memory.

If you are hoping for a Led Zeppelin tour, July was not your month and it seems farther away than ever.
