Led Zeppelin to Tour

As always, take such stories with a grain of salt. However, something seems to be happening in camp Zeppelin, and The Sun and Daily Telegraph are reporting that Robert Plant and the boys are making arrangements for a summer 2009 tour:

ROCK legends LED ZEPPELIN are set for a reunion tour after singer ROBERT PLANT finally caved in and agreed to join them.

Guitarist JIMMY PAGE, 64, bassist JOHN PAUL JONES, 62, and drummer JASON BONHAM, 42, had resigned themselves to touring without Plant.

They even rehearsed with stand-in singers - and one American was so impressive they were confident they could hit the road next year without Plant.

That was what finally persuaded him to return.

A source revealed: “The rest of the band had all but given up on Robert joining them, but they were determined to go ahead so had started to seriously explore other avenues.

“When Robert realised the band were serious about doing it without him, it made him think long and hard.

“He realised he couldn’t face the thought of not being involved.

“The band were over the moon when he told them the news.

“They are now forging ahead with the tour plans and they can’t wait to get on the road.”
Again, this is just rumour at this stage but I have an old adage when I write about politics, it's not about the polls, it's about what the politicians do. When Jason Bonham left his day job with Foreigner, that spoke volumes. Something is up, here's hoping this is what.
