That’s what Billboard.com is reporting! The rock band’s surviving members is apparently ready to disregard Robert Plant if he refuses to join their latest tour. And the frontman that Led Zeppelin is considering is Myles Kennedy, who has most recently led the rock outfit Alter Bridge. He has already rehearsed with Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer Jason Bonham on several occasions according to sources. In a recent BBC interview, John Paul Jones confirmed the band is indeed planning to tour.
Although he performed for a one-off reunion last December 2007 in London, Robert Plant has declined to tour with Led Zeppelin several times. Last September, he issued a statement saying he has “no intention whatsoever of touring with anyone for at least the next two years” and wished co-band members Page, Jones and Bonham “nothing but success with any future projects.” Hmm, guess his age is catching up with him. Who wouldn’t want to tour with groupies in tow?? Rockers live hard!
