Jimmy Page And Leona Lewis To Play Led Zeppelin Classic At Olympics

August 21, 2008
Jimmy Page And Leona Lewis To Play Led Zeppelin Classic At OlympicsLed Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page will play the band's hit song 'Whole Lotta Love' alongside Leona Lewis this weekend.

The pair will perform together at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympics Games in Beijing.

Bassist Guy Pratt apparently let slip what song they would perform in a post on his blog.

“You may also be interested to know that when Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis perform Whole Lotta Love at the end of the Olympics, that’s me playing bass on it,” he wrote.

As previously reported, David Beckham will also play a major role at the closing ceremony as the Olympics are handed over to Britain ahead of London 2012.
