Zeppelin tour Stops!
Led Zeppelin’s current tour of the United States has been hit by a series of mishaps. Firstly, drummer John Bonham and manager, Peter Grant were arrested on battery charges after three employees of well-known promoter, Bill Graham, filed complaints after an Oakland, California concert. The charges arose out of a fight between the band, stage hands, security
guards and the concert management. J ust who wasfighting whom,and why, is unclear. In addition to the battery charges, Graham’s employees have brought a $2 million lawsuit against Led Zeppeli/i. Graham, one of the States most influential promoters, is considering not rebooking the band. Some days following this event, news reached Singer, Robert Plant,' that his five year old son, Karac, had died of a virus infection in England. Plant together with guitarist, Jimmy Page, flew out to Britain and the dates lined up for the following week were cancelled. It was not known whether the tour would be continued..
