Led Zeppelin tour without Robert Plant 'will not be Led Zeppelin'

A spokesperson for Robert Plant says any tour by Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham with a new singer would not be a Led Zeppelin tour.

A member of Robert Plant's management team has said that any tour featuring Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham plus a singer of their choice will not, repeat, will not be a Led Zeppelin tour.

As previously, endlessly, tiresomely reported, the aforementioned Page, Jones and Bonham are all up for a big tour with a replacement for Robert Plant - though it's not 100% clear if they'd use the Led Zepp name. But Plant's spokesperson says this: "Whatever this is, it is not Led Zeppelin. Not without the involvement of Robert Plant".

I seem to remember other bands who've had this kind of problem ultimately going to court over the matter. I hope this one doesn't, because I'm not sure I could bear having to report on this any more.
