Jimmy Page’s Injured Finger Revealed At Last!
Squint and you can see the band-aid attached to his left pinky. But what happened? The BBC found out at last night’s Classic Rock Awards:
Arriving with his left hand discreetly lodged in his trouser pocket, the grey-haired musician at first seemed reluctant to be drawn on the subject.
Eventually, though, a bandaged pinky was revealed and the reason behind it – a tumble he had taken while walking in his garden a week ago.
“I happened to trip over a stone slab,” he revealed. “I didn’t just come down on my hand, I came down on other parts of my body as well.
“But of course, it was the hand that had a bit of an injury to it.”
Had it happened to his right hand, he added, he “might have got away with it”.
“It’s the last thing I would have wanted to happen to anybody, let alone me,” he said.
“All I can do is convey my apologies to the fans and anyone who has been inconvenienced.”
