According to The New York Times:
The show, at the O2 arena, will be a tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, the Atlantic Records founder who died in December. The promoter, Harvey Goldsmith, said that the bill also includes Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman, Foreigner and Paolo Nutini, a 20-year-old Scottish heartthrob who was the last act Mr. Ertegun took under his wing.
“During the Zeppelin years, Ahmet Ertegun was a major foundation of solidarity and accord,” Mr. Plant said in a statement. “For us he was Atlantic Records and remained a close friend and conspirator.”

Ron, your feed engine is slow. ;) Had you by two days. Beating chatter should be some type of award.

Jason Bonham is the current drummer for Foreigner, so it's probably a quid pro quo to have them on the bill with Zeppelin.
OK. well... I don't know what to say.
ReplyDeleteWhat is funnier?
That Jason Bonham is the drummer for Foreigner,
or that there is anything with a quid pro quo that involves Foreigner.
You tell me.
