Led Zeppelin Will Tour But Not Yet
Jimmy Page has said that Led Zeppelin put enough work in for a tour. Trouble is, you'll have to wait until at least September if it does happen again.
Speaking to reporters in Tokyo earlier today, the guitarist said that Robert Plant's forthcoming tour with bluegrass star Alison Krauss to promote their 'Raising Sand' album would take precedence over any Led Zeppelin activity.
"I can assure you the amount of work that we put into the O2 (concert), for ourselves rehearsing and the staging of it, was probably what you put into a world tour," Page told Reuters.
"Robert Plant also had a parallel project running and he's really busy with that project, certainly until September, so I can't give you any news."
The three surviving members of Led Zeppelin - Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones - were joined at the band's O2 Arena charity concert by the late John Bonham's son Jason on drums.
