And so another of those legendary artists who have been holding off from going digital has finally made the leap. Presumably keen to cash in on their much, much hyped upcoming reunion, Led Zeppelin have confirmed they will make their entire back catalogue available via legitimate download platforms next month.
Confirming the move, Led Zepp's Jimmy Page told reporters yesterday: "The addition of the digital option will better enable fans to obtain our music in whichever manner they prefer", while Warner Music chief Edgar Bronfman Jr, whose Atlantic Records label owns the catalogue, said the band's music was a "highly anticipated and essential addition to the world's leading digital music services" and that he looked "forward to expanding Led Zeppelin's presence across a full array of digital platforms".
Meanwhile, US phone firm Verizon Wireless announced it would be offering Led Zepp's music to its customers as ring tones and as full-track mobile downloads. Which is great news. If you're a Led Zepp fan. And a Verizon Wireless customer. And you're not broke.
