Led Zeppelin to tour with Robert Plant replacement

Band confirm they are after a new singer

I wish they wouldnt tour. This is ridiculous, do they have no integrity? They have the greatest legacy of any rock band and they seem, with the exception of Robert, all to happy to take a shit on it. Led Zep simply isnt Led Zep without Plant. Page is not the guitarist he used to be, JPJ wrote amazing basslines but anyone can play them live, and Bonzo is dead. As they have neither their energy or their look anymore this tour will essentially seem like a very highly budgeted covers band. Whomever they get to sing, be it Myles or anyone else will be on better form than the band, yet that just serves to make the whole thing more of a joke. Ultimately I have no doubt that anyone that watches this gigs with an unbiased eye will leave feeling that they have just seen a covers band. AND PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT RELEASE AN ALBUM. It will sound dated and cheesy, just as all albums by old rock bands do. I mean just listen to the new Queen record. What a pile of cheesy crap. Willy Plonka, oh dear.
