Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has told friends that he is desperate to perform with Led Zeppelin.

The singer is a huge fan of the group; he attended their recent reunion gig at the O2 Arena in London and he also has a series of tattoos in honour of the band's late drummer John Bonham.

"He was in the running to take over from John Bonham a few years ago and he's still gagging to get on stage with the Zep," a source told the Daily Star.

"While he loves playing with the Foo Fighters, Dave would drop anything to be part of Zep's shows."
