Led Zeppelin to Be Immortalized for Charity

While the world still anxiously holds out hope for the mighty Led Zeppelin to tour, one very lucky fan will be able to bring the legendary quartet home. British artist Jon Ellinor, 25, painted the band's likeness in conjunction with the upcoming Led Zeppelin Memorabilia Exhibition, held Aug. 1 to Sept. 3 at the Knebworth House, near London, in honor of the 40th anniversary of the group's founding.

The image of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham will be signed by Page and available online as part of a charity raffle. Fans have to correctly answer a trivia question, after which they will be directed to a site to purchase an entry to the contest. Ellinor, who told U.K. paper Town Crier Today, "It was very exciting to have been chosen to do the painting. It is always nice when people like your work," donated the art to the Brazil's Children Trust (also known as ABC Trust), an organization founded by Page that provides education to Brazilian youth in needl.
