Led Zeppelin to tour with Robert Plant replacement

Band confirm they are after a new singer

I ain't a fan of Led Zep and so while I can see how upset folks are about Plant not being present, I really don't think you can compare this to the recent Queen+PR and Riders on the Storm tours. For one thing both of those groups could NEVER have the original line up - Mercury and Morrison are both deceased so I certainly don't have an issue with them wanting to look to the future and going forward with new lead singers. I saw Riders in 2007 and even without Jim, it was an amazing experience to see them play LA Woman and all my favourites. Plus, Paul Rogers never even attempts to be Mercury, he's himself and that is why Queen+PR works so well... As a fan, yes be upset not to see a band return to their former glories but don't shoot them down for wanting to move forward.
