(Classic Rock) Jimmy Page says his greatest moment outside of Led Zeppelin was performing Whole Lotta Love with pop star Leona Lewis at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

He admits his choice will "surprise everyone" but insists the moment, part of the event's closing ceremony, was important and made him proud. Page tells Uncut: "I'd be very sincere if I said doing the Olympics with Leona was phenomenal. She's really plucky - she's superb, and she sang Whole Lotta Love brilliantly.

"We managed to do the full length. It wasn't edited. It was so cool the way she approached it. For that audience, and the fact we didn't f*** it up, that was important. It was a Led Zeppelin number, but it took on another persona." Read more here.
