 Sorry Zep fans, but I have some bad news to share. "Led Zeppelin are over," says Jimmy Page's manager, Peter Mensch, according to a report published at Music Radar. It's a stunning reversal from Mensch's announcement in yesterday's NME that the band was auditioning potential replacements for Robert Plant for a new record and tour . In fact, it sounds like the auditioning process undid the whole thing.
Mensch told Music Radar that:
"They tried out a few singers, but no one worked out," says Mensch.
"That was it. The whole thing is completely over now. There are
absolutely no plans for them to continue. Zero. Frankly, I wish
everybody would stop talking about it."
On the one hand, it's a relief that Led Zeppelin chose not to limp through their unbelievable catalogue with a scab singer. Could you imagine Steven Tyler fronting Zep? Or Chris Cornell? Or a total unknown doing his (or her) karaoke best?
On the other hand, can you imagine how entertaining this might've been? I mean, Page's manager got this worked up over NOTHING. He might've spontaneously combusted if this had dragged on!
Disappointed you won't get to see this legendary band perform? Happy they didn't decide to take the Vegas route and reunite just for the money? Share your thoughts in the comments!
