Led Zeppelin reunion: Jimmy Page’s finger is better
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has explained that his injured finger – which had been the cause of his band’s O2 Arena show postponement – is now better and the band will resume rehearsals this week.
The guitarist, speaking to Reuters, assured fans that his finger would be fine for ther concert, scheduled to take place on December 10.
“I suppose something like a Zeppelin reunion wouldn’t be right without a bit of drama,” he joked.
“This is two to two-and-a-half weeks from the injury and there we are, it’s doing that,” Page continued, wiggling his finger. “It’s going to be fine for the concert. It’s just a bit bruised and a bit painful, but it’s going to be fine.”

People ask if the lamb was real and where Jim got the lamb? Jim was handed the lamb, on stage, by Lewis Marvin of Moonfire. Lewis would travel around spreading his philosophy of non-violence and vegetarianism. Marvin would carry the lamb around to demostrate his principles that if you eat meat, you’re killing this little lamb. The skull hat Jim wore on stage was also from Lewis Marvin. Lewis died in early 2005, in Panama.
