KIDDERMINSTER, England, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant is performing in Britain under the name The Honeydrippers to help pay for his neighbor's treatment for her brain tumor.

The show, scheduled at the town hall in Kidderminster, England, on Dec. 23, is to raise the final $45,000 for Jackie Jennings' treatment. She has already raised $135,000 for the $180,000 treatment, Gigwise.com reported Wednesday.

Jennings will travel to Boston, Mass., to receive the treatment.

The original 1984 Honeydrippers' album also featured Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, but it is unknown whether either guitar great will join Plant for the benefit.
