Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant is to perform at a one-off gig to raise money for an ill neighbour.

Plant's neighbour and friend Jackie Jennings is receiving treatment Stateside for a brain tumour; it is hoped that Plant's show at Kidderminster Town Hall, later this year, will raise at least some of the £25,000 needed to cover the treatment costs.

The gig is to take place on December 23, so hopefully Jennings will receive a potentially life-saving Christmas present this year.

would it not be easier

for him to just give them the £25,000? Shirley that's peanuts to him

Actually, studies show that it is easier to sing than give away money

you know how some people can be about direct charity.

I saw him...

...do a charity gig there last year. It was crap but for a good cause. He did blues covers all night.

good on him. He's the nice one out Led Zeppelin, apparently he ran over a puppy in a corvette in the 1970's and had to have a 3 year break from touring cos of it!
