LEGENDARY 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.”:beer: :AP: :beer:

Not so. That seems to be an article from 2002 or so; note the ages. It notes Plant as 54; he's 58 now. If it was to happen, it would have already. This rumor comes out every so often, again and again. After the death of Ahmet Ertegun, even the Honeydrippers follow-up that really was going to happen this year is now set aside. Sorry...

That would be so cool :ghug: I've meet Jason Bonham in person. Hope it's true "i'll be there" Rock On!:BSD:

.

Out since October, produced by T Bone, probably my pick for album of the year, and it was a pretty good year:

Can't be there!:shf:

bonaroo '08? that'd be cool.

- js.

i wasn't nuts about that Plant/Kraus collaboration, tbh...gave it a good listen, but it just didn't push any buttons for me.

Some on the tube.

Just picked this one out random.
I hope there's a dvd of the concert out soon

It's said there is to be a DVD. I've seen some clips and heard some audio (not any pro quality capture, but I did hear a good clip of Good Times Bad Times), and for what it is, it's good. Jimmy had the broken left pinky and supposedly he was really fretting with three just about the whole time. In all truth it probably should have been postponed more but he didn't want to inconvenience. He did a hell of a job anyway. They all did. There was some wicked shit at that show; I wish I could have been there (like about 20 million others).
