Led Zeppelin Scrap Plans To Tour Without Robert Plant

October 29, 2009

Led Zeppelin's bassist John Paul Jones has confirmed the band have dropped plans to tour without singer Robert Plant.

Jones, guitarist Jimmy Page and Jason Bonham had hoped to hit the road with a session singer after Plant said he had no plans to return to the band.

But the bassist, who is currently playing in Them Crooked Vultures, has now revealed that the idea had been scrapped.

"Jimmy and I rehearsed a bit with Jason Bonham and we couldn’t really agree on singers and that fell by the wayside,” he told BBC 6 Music.

“Then this came along and to be honest, I’m really happy."

Calls for a Led Zeppelin reunion tour were ignited after the band – including Plant – played a one-off show in London in 2007.

But the singer later ruled out a full-time return, saying he wanted to focus on his other projects.
