LED ZEP A GO: PLANT IS IN
The lone holdout for the much anticipated Led Zeppelin reunion tour tentatively set for next summer is on board -- finally. After much hesitation, Robert Plant has agreed to re-up with his bandmates, including Jason Bonham, son of late Led Zep drummer John Bonham.
Plant had previously hemmed and hawed over a possible reunion tour, apparently content with the band's one-off concert last December at London's O2 arena, as well as current work with American roots songwriter Alison Krauss.

The rest of Led Zeppelin -- Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Bonham -- were not pleased with Plant's hesitation, but forged ahead nonetheless with an American singer, who reportedly was so spot-on as a Plant stand-in that the band was prepared to tour with him if Plant was indeed not budging.
However, it was this news that did budge Plant back into the fold. Whoever you are, unknown, unnamed American singer -- you have done your duty. Zep returns!
