If there is any truth to this I am gonna #wank# I was a Led Head long before I was a Dead Head www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2002471692,00.html ( you may have to cut&paste the link to get it to work right) Led Zeppelin to tour again By THOMAS WHITAKER Showbiz Reporter 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. The band, famed for songs like Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta Love, are second only to the Beatles in worldwide album sales. They still hold records for crowds at their 1970s concerts. A music industry insider said: *They had so many hits that I am sure the reunion would be a major success.*

I really have no idea how reliable The Sun is and since this has been rumor'd tooo many times before i will not put faith in it I guess one of the overseas melons (maybe bums) can let us know if The Sun is reliable or not who knows

The Sun isn't the most reliable news source ever (it's a cheap tabloid newspaper), but I hope this is true... I hope they come to their homeland!

I don't know if you are all ZEp fans, but another good find is Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes tour in the Mid nineties i think it was. They did alot of old blues songs and of course Zep tunes. It's on a two disc cd called Live at the Greek. It is just awesome!! My fav song on there is Woke Up this Mornin. Jimmy trades solos off w/ Mark Ford. Mark Ford also, while the Black Crowes had some down time awhile back, toured w/ Ben Harper for the Diamonds on the inside album. He's on the Hollywood Bowl DVD w/ Ben.

I had to chuckle when I read in that first post " Led Zeppelin was famous for Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta Love." As if anyone DOESN'T know that. That is one show I'd love to see for sure! I would consider flying to Engalnd for that one if I had too! In fact, I've been saying that since highschool!
