Led Zeppelin may fill in for Jackson

Sounds like alot of wishful thinking to me..........

Led Zeppelin may fill Jackson’s 50-show O2 run with ABBA
July 4th, 2009 - 1:56 pm ICT by ANI -

London, July 4 (ANI): ‘Led Zeppelin’ have apparently been approached to alternate shows with Abba, and fill in for the 50-show run previously planned for Michael Jackson at London’s O2 arena.

AEG Live, promoters for the late King of Pop’s slated comeback tour, were said to be trying hard to woo both the bands to reform.

“Only Michael Jackson could sell out 50 nights at such a big arena, but Led Zeppelin and Abba combined might just rival him. There is huge money on the table,” British tabloid The Sun quoted a source as saying.

Jackson was due to begin his ‘This Is It’ gigs on July 13.

His sudden death on June 25 has left the organisers facing a multi-million pound black hole, if they are unable fill the slots. (ANI)

Not really, if the only goal is to fill seats, but I doubt it will happen.

Not a chance in hell. Seriously folks - lazy journalists plucking big names out of thin air just to fill a column.

Led Zeppelin resisted reunions for 30 years and now they're suddenly going to put one together at a few weeks notice - as a favour to a promoter who's been left in the shit because Michael jackson popped his clogs? Wise up.

Similar with Abba. Benny Andersson was on the Jonathan Ross show on Friday night and said no one had even approached him to do these shows, and said that there was no way they'd ever perform together again.
