Kevin Davy White brought a Whole Lotta Love to The X Factor final on Saturday night as he opened the show with the Led Zeppelin track.
The French guitarist and singer wowed the crowd at the ExCeL Arena with a stunning performance of the 1969 song.
Judge Louis Walsh was equally impressed, telling Davy White he never thought he would see Led Zeppelin covered on the ITV singing competition.
