Janvier Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 The article says that on March 21, 2013 at 8:15 PM, Led Zeppelin will be awarded the Echo Lifetime Achievement Award International. Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones will be able to attend, but Robert Plant will not due to a previous concert arrangement in Singapore. From wikipedia: "Echo (stylised as ECHO) is a German music award granted every year by the Deutsche Phono-Akademie (an association of recording companies). Each year's winner is determined by the previous year's sales. The Echo Deutscher Musikpreis is the successor to the Deutscher Schallplattenpreis (German Record Awards)" I also noticed that the German website of Rolling Stone magazine has posted a short note about this: http://www.rollingst...ach-berlin.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie0024 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The wife of Jimmy's manager is Louise Mensch, who used to be a member of parliament here. She set up petitions and various campaigns to get Jimmy knighted, but never succeeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
