Led Zeppelin could get together again for more projects after next week's long-awaited reunion gig, members of the iconic British rock band hinted in newly-published comments. Guitarist Jimmy Page recounted his excitement when they first played together in preparation for their reunion next Monday 10 December 2007, and warned that the group should not wait too long or they will "need Zimmer frames.

The tribute statue of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham in his hometown of Redditch, England will become immersive this coming Friday.

A QR code installed in the statue will enable participants to launch an immersive animation of Bonham that was created using motion capture technology.

A local drummer, Matt Green, played Zeppelin's “Rock and Roll,” “Good Times, Bad Times” and “Immigrant Song,” and that footage has been combined with a new animation of Bonham. Also included is a local guide that directs people to relevant locations in Redditch tied to Bonham's time there.

Unfortunately for many fans of Bonzo, the only way to access it is by visiting the statue, which was erected in 2018 for what would've been Bonham's 70th birthday.

And, if you do, then pay a visit to the Redditch Library, where, later this month, it will unveil a "special collection of John Bonham materials from the Library’s Archive and Collections for visitors to view and learn more about John’s life.”
