On the Instagram page, iconic Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has posted a recent photo of himself, revealing an untold story about the 2001 Iron Maiden show in Rio, Brazil.
In the caption, Jimmy Page said that he was invited to the ‘Rock in Rio’ concert by Iron Maiden because he was in Brazil, and Judas Priest singer Rob Halford was there too.
As you might see in the photo, Jimmy said that he played and signed the guitar at the backstage of Iron Maiden show and thought that the signed guitar will be sent for a charity event. Also, the picture was taken by a rock and roll photographer, Ross Halfin.
Here’s the statement:
“On this day in 2001, I saw Iron Maiden perform at Rock in Rio.
Because I was in Brazil, it gave me an opportunity to take up an invite to see Iron Maiden perform at Rock in Rio. Rob Halford, from Judas Priest, kindly gave me a lift to the site in the helicopter and here is a photo of me backstage playing the guitar that I believe was signed for charity.
Iron Maiden filmed this show with one of the best audiences in the world. Always memorable, the Rock in Rio – Brazilian people know how to enjoy themselves at even the smallest party so you can imagine what they are like at a major festival! 🇧🇷”
