And in 2007, Led Zeppelin's greatly anticipated reunion concert in London was postponed for two weeks after Jimmy Page broke a finger.

More than a million fans vied for the 20,000 available tickets, which sold for £125 each. Profits from the show were set to go towards scholarships in Ertegun's name in the U.K., U.S., and Turkey, where he was born.
