Led Zeppelin to rule the world

Los Angeles - Led Zeppelin are set to embark on a world tour in 2008.
The legendary rock band are seemingly ready to follow their comeback performance at London's O2 arena on December 10 with a series of concerts across the globe next year.
News of the proposed tour was leaked by Ian Astbury, lead singer of band The Cult.
He told fans at a concert in Cincinnati on Saturday: "We'll be back next year. We're opening for a band you may have heard of. The name starts with an 'L', and has a 'Z' in it."
When asked by an excited member of the crowd if he meant Led Zeppelin, Astbury reportedly nodded his head and raised a celebratory arm in the air.
Cater for millions
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page recently hinted the band would play more shows to cater for the millions of fans unable to get their hands on tickets for their upcoming concert.
He said: "It's a bit selfish to do just one show. If that's it, we probably shouldn't have taken the genie out of the bottle."
The band - which also includes lead singer Robert Plant and bassist John Paul Jones - have reformed for a tribute concert to the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, who signed the group. - Bang Showbiz.com
