Led Zeppelin among acts considered for London’s Music Walk of Fame


Led Zeppelin are among the acts being considered for London’s new Music Walk Of Fame.

The BBC reports Camden Town is to be officially twinned with Hollywood to create its very own Music Walk of Fame.

Those honoured will be divided into five groups: innovative artists, influential artists, icons, unsung heroes and industry types like managers and producers.

A committee of global industry figures and local community members are working on shortlist of nominations for the first 30 plaques, which will be laid down this summer.

The list will go to a decisive public vote on the Music Walk of Fame website in May.

"We hope this will be the highest accolade in music," said music promoter Lee Bennett. "This is an international brand not specific to Camden, but it is in Camden as we truly see it as the world's rock and roll capital."

Other artists under consideration include The Who, Elvis Presley and Blur.
