LONDON - Led Zeppelin will perform a one-time comeback concert in
memory of Ahmet Ertegun, a co-founder of Atlantic Records.
The band will perform together for the first time in 19 years on
Nov. 26, at London's The O2 venue, on the banks of the River Thames.
Promoters said the concert would pay tribute to Ertegun - the
label boss who popularized Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Led
Zeppelin - who died in December at age 83.
"During the Zeppelin years, Ahmet Ertegun was a major foundation
of solidarity and accord," Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant said in a
statement. "For us he was Atlantic Records and remained a close
friend and conspirator."
