You pretty much have to take everything printed in The Sun with many grains of salt. The London rag is notorious for getting it wrong more often than not. It’s with that preamble that I offer this next bit of “news”.

Showbiz ReporterLEGENDARY 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.”

It is about time……..
I don’t believe it. How old is this story? Robert is 58 now. Bonzo died in ‘80 that’s 27 years ago. Do the math.
this is bull shit!!! read there old interviews and reunion tours. they say that when the jon died so did the band. roberts did some solo stuff in 05. if for some reason they did reunite. you will know. EVERYONE WILL KNOW. that would be headline news…unfortunatley.
OK! so now the news that zeppelin is going back on tour in 07 is out everywhere. If Van Halen and Police are going on tour then it has to be true that they will too. To many people know about this now; lets cross our fingers that Zeppelin will be going on tour!
I’LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I’M SITTING AT THE CONCERT!
FUCKIN A … WILL ALL BE THERE , GO JASON BONHAM. LOOKIN GOOD AND SOUNED GREAT ON THE CANS…………

Oh boy oh boy!!They are really gonna suck! sounds like they just want to make some money to make up for all the money that went up their noses back when they could actully hear and see, and maybe even play, let alone understand what they were doing.p.s. didnt the contract with satan already expire??? just kidding… best of luck to the mighty Led!!!
it took 27 years to reunite, you “bastards”.Come on,you’re killing me here.I’ve been waiting that long. They better not sound crappy,remember live aid 85.”Yikes” What a disaster.But anyways once I see my hero’s i can die peacefully and tell GOD, I saw led zeppelin and it was good.
P.S.
