No Chance of a Led Zeppelin Reunion, Says Manager

For once and for all, the members of Led Zeppelin will not record or tour, according to the groups management. Despite an announcement on BBC6 this week from manager Peter Mensch that the remaining members of Led Zeppelin were likely to record and tour with a new singer, that will not be the case.

"Led Zeppelin are over! If you didn't see them in 2007, you missed them," Mensch -- who also handles the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Metallica -- told musicradar.com. "It's done. I can't be any clearer than that.

"They tried out a few singers, but no one worked out," Zeppelin's manager added. "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."

To me I agree that integrity is more important than money. But I also feel that if they weren't going to do a full reunion why did they bother doing the one gig. All it did was get fans hopes up and let them down, where's the integrity in that? Hey look everybody we're back, oh wait no we're not. Pink Floyd did the same thing. As far as people who think that a reunion would not live up to the bands legacy, think again. The bands reuion gig in 2007 was too good to say otherwise. I also agree that it would be wrong to do it without Plant. Just as it would be wrong to do it without Bonham. However Bonham still in a way lives in the band. It's all about the blood. In Led Zeppelins veins runs the blood of Plant, Page, Jones, and Bonham. Anyother blood would not work. As long as John Bonhams son Jason drums for Zeppelin then the blood remains the same and Led Zeppelin is still Led Zeppelin. Everybit and maybe even a bit more magical than they once were. They need to realize who made them big, the fans. And while they care enough to not want to tarnish their legacy, they are sort of betraying their fans by doing their little tease in 07 and then saying bye bye.

even though i was born after their time, led zeppelin is a huge part of my life. i can't stand the crap that my friends listen to these days. i still wish that they could have done one last tour though, just so i could see them for once. i would have gone to London to see the Mothership, but my mum would kill me.
i dont think jimmy page was suggesting the tour just for the money, though. i think he just wanted to tour one last time. but its a shame robert didn't want to do it without bonham.
i wish i was born in the 50's!

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss..new chapter, his voice is lower and he's tired of screaming his wonderful lungs out. His new music is really good, and those that just enjoy head-banger music won't like the new stuff anyway. Expanding musical horizons is what is cool about Robert. Sometimes less is more...

Jimmy Page rocked the closing ceremony of the Olympics last summer with Leona Lewis. What a great bunch of musicians, together or solo or with whatever other artists.

The No.1 rock and roll band of alltime!!
Plant is a pompous arrogant 1/2 talent
1/2 talent when they were on top 0 talent now
His voice is "Over the hills and far away"
Page made the band ..Bonzo ended the run, R.I.P.

I think Plant's decision not to get back with the group is quite admirable.

And to be honest, I don't think we're missing all that much. I am a HUGE Zeppelin fan, but the fire went out when J. Bonham died.
