Led Zeppelin: Genie's Out Of The Bottle [Full-Scale Reunion Tour Likely]

Led Zeppelin have given a clear hint that they are thinking about staging a full-scale tour after their reunion gig next month.

Speaking to Guitar World magazine in the States, guitarist Jimmy Page suggested the one-off show may lead to something bigger.

"It's a bit silly not to because there is such massive demand," he said.

Until now, the band had said they were only planning to do the one show at the O2 Dome, in honour of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.

But following what Page described as the "overwhelming" reaction to the show, clearly they are re-thinking things. It's estimated up to 20 million people applied for just 18,000 tickets.

"It's a bit selfish to do just one show. If that's it, we probably shouldn't have taken the genie out of the bottle," he said.

The show has been delayed while Page rests a broken finger on his left hand. He got the injury when he tripped over a paving slab in the dark.

"The light was very dim and I tripped over something and I landed on various bits of my anatomy but of course the crucial part was left hand, little finger," Page has previously told Sky News.

The rescheduled gig at the O2 Arena will now take place on December 10.
