Led Zeppelin join Foos for UK show

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones turned a high-profile Foo Fighters show into a once-in-a-lifetime event Saturday night at London's Wembley Stadium.

The duo joined the Foos for covers of Zeppelin's Rock and Roll and Ramble On.

Drummer Taylor Hawkins took the microphone for the former, and front man Dave Grohl sang the latter.

Grohl, a lifelong Zeppelin fanatic who was on hand for the group's December 2007 one-off reunion in London, told the crowd that Saturday's experience constituted "the greatest day of my entire life".

The Foos' summer European tour continues Wednesday in Bergen, Norway, and wraps June 22 at Germany's Southside Festival.

A North American run begins July 9 at Seattle's Key Arena.
