Led Zeppelin To Reform At 2012 London Olympics?

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has said he would be honoured to perform at the 2012 London Olympics – fuelling speculation that the full band may reform for the event.

Page closed this year's games in Beijing alongside Leona Lewis with a cover of the band's song 'Whole Lotta Love'.

Their performance drew mixed reactions, with some critics calling it the poorest part of the ceremony.

Speaking about the duet, Page is quoted as saying that he can't understand why it drew so much criticism.

“People just need to be less cynical. You know we went out there, we only had ten minutes - what did people expect?" he said.

Then, when asked if he would play at the London games, he replied: “If they asked, it would be an honour”.

Talk of further reunion shows has been constant since Led Zeppelin played a one off concert at the O2 Arena in London last December.

Their performance, which was praised by critics, attracted 1 million ticket applicants for just 9,000 pairs of tickets.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Page and Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant collection a Lifetime Achievement award at the GQ Men of the Year awards in London this week for their set.
