Jimmy to be Knighted?

An MP has proposed that the Zep guitarist gets a Knighthood this year

Published 16th Nov 2011

Conservative MP Louise Mensch revealed on her Twitter page "I've proposed Jimmy Page. Waiting to see if that finds favour with Honours Directorate. I hope so." 

The MP also denied that her husband Peter Mensch (who is the current manager of Metallica, Muse and Snow Patrol, and who used to managed Page), had any involvement in her suggesting the guitarist, adding: "Clearly there is nobody more worthy of a knighthood and I am glad to say I have gathered support from every major record label in the UK."

Page was given an OBE in 2005 for his charity work with Brazilian street children.
