Steve Sauer of
LedZeppelinNews.com reports that
LED ZEPPELIN guitar legend
Jimmy Page will play in a Rio de Janeiro, Brazil school auditorium this Saturday, November 28, at a benefit for one of his charities. According to Brazil's
O Globo, tickets to a concert featuring
Page and other acts are selling for upwards of $100. The article says
Page will be performing along with some school bands and acts called
PEPEU GOMES,
GEORGE ISRAEL and
KID ABELHA.
If the intimate event materializes, it will mark
Page's first concert appearance of the year. In 2008,
Page played a much more high-profile event at the Olympics, and also joined
John Paul Jones in sitting in with the
FOO FIGHTERS one night in London. Those have been his only onstage appearances since the
LED ZEPPELIN reunion concert on December 10, 2007.
Casa Jimmy, a shelter for abandoned street children in Rio de Janiero, opened 11 years ago as a program of one of the charities
Page supports,
Task Brazil. A source familiar with
Page's charity work tells
LedZeppelinNews.com this fundraiser couldn't have come at a better time given a current need for financial support.
