Report: JIMMY PAGE To Perform At Rio De Janeiro Benefit This Weekend

November 25, 2009

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.
