Jimmy Page hasn’t yet made it up the stairway to heaven, but he’s the first to reach the new British Walk of Fame.
The former Led Zeppelin guitarist cast his hand prints in cement Monday as the first music legend to feature on London’s reply to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“It’s a real privilege and a great honor to be the first. I’m really chuffed,” said Page, 60. “A Walk of Fame is a fantastic idea, and it’s high time we had one in London.”
The site of the British version, which will feature popular music giants, is taking shape outside the new Virgin Music superstore on Piccadilly Circus, London’s landmark crossroads.
Page predicted it would soon become crowded with hand prints. “If you started putting in all the people I think are deserving, you could cover the whole of London,” he said.
