Led Zeppelin Reunion
Don’t get your hopes up.
Robert Plant continues to debunk any and all rumors that he will join the band for a Led Zeppelin reunion tour. He has addressed this issue directly on his website, and makes it very clear that he is committed to his project with Alison Krauss and has absolutely no intentions of answering the prayers of so many millions of Zeppelin fans.
So be it.
Even though Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham are all said to be on board, they have no pilot for the Starship. Or do they? John Paul Jones has mentioned that the band has been auditioning singers for a possible album/tour and that “it has to be the right fit. We don’t want a Robert clone- we could get that from a tribute band. We don’t want to be our own tribute band.”
I’m pretty sure Zeppelin fans don’t either. They want Robert Plant. For the price it is going to cost for a ticket to see Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones jam, it better be Elvis taking his place.
Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant is like a Christmas pageant without Jesus. It just won’t work.
Led Zeppelin is probably the biggest band in the world today, and they aren’t even a band- they were a band. Go figure.
