Rock legends Led Zeppelin may join pop super group ABBA to take over the 50-show run planned by the late Michael Jackson at London's O2 arena.
British tabloid "The Sun" reported July 4 that AEG Live, the concert promoter behind Jackson's shows, has offered Led Zeppelin and ABBA "big money" to fill in for the shows.
They have also announced that full refunds for the 50 shows will be available to customers who purchased tickets through authorized vendors such as Ticketmaster, Viagogo and Ticketline.
Led Zeppelin--vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer Jason Bonham, son of original drummer John Bonham--played their only concert in 19 years at tribute show for Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun at the O2 in 2007.
ABBA, featuring singers Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Anderson, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Faltskog, earned worldwide acclaim in the 1970s with such hits as "Dancing Queen," "S.O.S" and "Fernando," many of which were included in 1999s jukebox musical, "Mamma Mia!" They have not performed since 1982.
Jackson was set to begin his 50-show run on July 13. It has also been rumored that his brothers will reunite the Jackson 5 to fill in some of the concert slots and will be joined by Latoya and Janet Jackson.
