LED ZEPPELIN FAN WON'T QUIT WALK OF FAME CAMPAIGN

LATEST: A Californian LED ZEPPELIN fan has vowed to continue with his attempt to land the rock legends a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - despite rocker JIMMY PAGE refusing to endorse the campaign.
Rocky DICkerson launched the petition after seeing the group perform at the Ahmet Ertegün Tribute Concert in London last year (07).
He has since written to each of the surviving bandmembers and their management to get their approval for the nomination - but Page has turned down the request.
A statement released by Page's publicist said, "He (Page) has asked me to thank you for this interest but he does not feel that this is something that he can endorse."
And while DICkerson admits the star's snub has come as a surprise, he's refusing to let it hinder his campaign - urging other fans to join him in the fight.
In a post on his website dedicated to the band, he says, "I must admit I was taken aback by Jimmy's non-endorsement of the campaign drive. I'm sure he has his reasons... and all of them possibly valid.
"But I am so committed to doing this I cannot simply roll over and play dead...
"Since I heard from Jimmy's representative, a lot of things have gone through my mind. Yes, I did think of giving up for a moment, and if I had wanted to take the easy way out, I would have. But I feel so passionately that the fans need to do this to honour Led Zeppelin. It is and probably will be the only thing we can do on such a major scale. So once again, join with me and sign the petition, do whatever you can to convince Jimmy, Robert (Plant) and Jonesy (John Paul Jones) to hear us and appreciate what we are trying to do."
