From the current FR thread, Led Zep set to tour again: LEGENDARY rockers Led Zeppelin are set to re-group after 22 years for a money-spinning stadium tour of America.
The three surviving members — singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones — plan to hit the road next summer.
The trio hope to pocket £6.4million for the shows.
Robert, 54, Jimmy, 58, and 56-year-old John Paul met two weeks ago at the offices of their management firm Trinifold.
They buried the hatchet over Page and Plant’s 1990s tour, which John Paul only learned about from a newspaper.
A band insider said last night: “If the right offer comes up they will do it.”
Trinifold added: “Jimmy is itching to do something, but there is nothing firm yet.”
Zeppelin split in 1980 after a booze binge killed drummer John Bonham.
His son Jason is set to play drums on the tour.
Hmm, I may actually go see this. I’ve never been a big fan of Zep, even though (come to think of it) that I have every one of their legit albums (I’m not counting “The New Yardbirds”, since that one was pulled almost immediately, and I’ve only seen one copy of that, ever; the tracks were either similar to or had a lot of overlap with or were identical with the material on the first Zep)... ;’)
