Cornell depressed by Led Zeppelin tour talk

Chris Cornell, floated as a possible Robert Plant replacement, says he would never front a Led Zeppelin tour without Plant.

Yeah, me too. Chris Cornell, one of those singers whose name has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Robert Plant on a much rumoured to be happening Led Zeppelin tour, has said he finds the idea of a such a jaunt pretty depressing.

The former Soundgarden/Audioslave star says: "I would never do anything like that whether I were approached or not. It just doesn't make any sense to me at all. I would not want to go see me performing Led Zeppelin songs with the two other guys that used to be in a band called Led Zeppelin while Robert Plant is out somewhere touring. That's not a ticket I would buy. God bless 'em, but that's not Led Zeppelin. I find it completely depressing. I'd never do anything like that. I mean just out of respect to the legacy of the band".
