Led Zeppelin to tour with a new singer? John Jones speaks
by Black Bubblegum
Led Zeppelin in Central Park, 1969
“As you probably know, Jimmy [Page], Jason [Bonham, son of John Bonham] and I are actually rehearsing and we’ve had the odd singer come in and have a bash. As soon as we know — which we don’t — we will let you know. But we really hope that something is going to happen soon because we really want to do it and we’re having a lot of fun, actually, just rehearsing. Jason is actually tremendous. . . We really wanna do something and Robert doesn’t want to do this, at least for the moment. I don’t really know what his plans are. He really doesn’t want to make loud music anymore. We do. I mean, I love acoustic music, but it doesn’t stop me from turning something up . . . And what we’ve done so far sounds absolutely fantastic. When it does come, it will come, and you’ll know about it.”
That quote is John Paul Jones speaking on the current status of Led Zeppelin. To that Robert would probably say he wishes them “nothing but success”. Video of John’s full statement below.
Led Zeppelin, Robert included, reunited in December of 2007 in tribute of Atlantic Records impresario Ahmet Ertegun.
Robert Plant has otherwise been keeping busy with the “acoustic” music he’s making with Alison Krauss. Video below…
