Their bitter feud over a basement extension was hardly rock and roll.

But Robbie Williams is said to have been so intent on further tormenting his neighbour Jimmy Page he blasted out the music of Led Zeppelin's rivals Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple whenever he spotted him venturing into his garden.

He is even said to have been "imitating" Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant by wearing a long wig and stuffing a pillow up his shirt.

The pair had been at loggerheads ever since Williams submitted plans for a basement gym and pool at his £17million West London home five years ago.

Page, 74, objected as he feared excavation work would damage his 1875 Grade I-listed mansion.

The musician has lived at the property, known as Tower House and designed by William Burges, for 40 years and referred to it as "one of the most historic buildings in the borough".
