Daltrey Gave Led Zeppelin Ticket To Charity
THE WHO frontman ROGER DALTREY was offered a coveted ticket to see LED
ZEPPELIN’s comeback gig – but gave it up for charity.
The musician was desperate to see the reformed band take to the stage in
December (07), but felt so guilty about going for free, he auctioned the
tickets.
He says, “I did want to see Led Zeppelin and I could get a ticket but I felt
bad about going. I didn’t think it was right that I should have that privilege
and thought it would be morally wrong for me to join the celebrity bandwagon
that went.
“Led Zep was incredibly generous and gave our charity four tickets which we
auctioned.”
Fans of the veteran rockers were willing to pay thousand of dollars for the
chance to see their idols take to the stage again, with one enthusiast
splashing out $166,000 (#83,000) for two tickets, which were originally priced
at $250 (#125) each.
