Robert Plant rules out Led Zeppelin reunion tour

Robert Plant
London (ANI): Former Led Zeppelin's lead singer Robert Plant has poured cold water on reports that he would join the band for a reunion tour, branding the rumours "frustrating and ridiculous." Since the band got together for a charity gig in London, rumours have been making rounds that the band could stage a comeback tour anytime.

However, it has now emerged that Plant, who is touring the United States with Alison Krauss, is the most reluctant to reunite for the tour - and statement on his website made clear his intentions. "Robert Plant and Alison Krauss are currently touring the USA on the last leg of their 'Raising Sand' tour," The Mirror quoted Plant, as stating on his website. "After those dates, Robert has no intention whatsoever of touring with anyone for at least the next two years," he added.

Plant, who has called the reports 'both frustrating and ridiculous', has wished the band success in all their future projects. "Contrary to a spate of recent reports, Robert Plant will not be touring or recording with Led Zeppelin," he stated.

I find it pretty sad as well. I mean here's a guy who cannot come to grips that the WHOLE world wants to see this group deomnstrate the magic that was. I'm 26 years and have never gotten the chance to see this group play, and most likely never will b/c this @ss doesn't care. I guess he doesn't understand that the musice belons to the people not him. Good things there's always The Who

Keeper I agree. Fellow Zep fans we need to move on and pray that Jimmy will understand that the fans want something. He has new blood in the band and if he can find someone to fit the other quarter of the group I believe we will all be fine with this. In watching the O2 performance I felt the weak link was Plant and it is certainly understandable that his vocal ability is not that of a 20 year old singer. I also agree that there does need to be new material and a new singer if they are serious about taking the Zeppelin on the road. Many bands have done it over the years and have been fine. Either way Zep will never be the band they were with or with out Plant.
