Promoter Shoots Down Rumors Of LED ZEPPELIN Concerts In Canada

May 23, 2008

Greg Quill of the Toronto Star reports that persistent rumors and frenzied Internet chat about the likelihood of one or more LED ZEPPELIN concerts in late August at Toronto's Rogers Centre formerly the SkyDome are just that, says one of two rock promoters large enough to handle an event of such magnitude in this part of the world.

"They're just rumors," Debra Rathwell, senior VP at Anschutz Entertainment Group Live and head of the company's New York office, told the Toronto Star.

"(Roots music star) Alison Krauss and (LED ZEPPELIN front man) Robert Plant are touring together till at least the end of July, and Plant has made it perfectly clear that he doesn't want to tour with LED ZEPPELIN.

"Of course, stranger things have happened, but I can tell you that my office is not involved in any LED ZEPPELIN concerts in Toronto or anywhere else," Rathwell added.
