(East Anglian Daily Times) Suffolk-based music legend Jack Bruce has revealed how he received "death threats" after daring to criticize rock giants Led Zeppelin. The 66-year-old former Cream bassist made headlines across the world in May after describing the band who reunited for a one-off concert in 2007 as "crap".

Speaking to the press at an awards ceremony, Bruce described Led Zeppelin reunion gig at the 02 Arena as "lame" and chided them: "You're crap and you'll never be anything else. Cream is 10 times the band Led Zeppelin is."

Bruce, who lives near the Suffolk-Essex border, said he could not believe the furore his comments caused. "It was just a bit of fun and it was blown out of all proportion," he said. "Some Led Zeppelin fans were really angry at me and I had a few death threats - they're not likely to find me out here though!" - more on this story
