Band confirm they are after a new singer

I agree with callaby. zoso_02, you're talking absolute rubbish. Led Zeppelin is not just Jimmy page. If it was, he would have carried on with another drummer after Bonham died in 1980. But they made the decision to stop because it wasn't the same without Bonham. And besides, Plant wrote most of the lyrics anyway. All the members brought something unique to the band, and to say Led Zeppelin was just Jimmy Page is stupid and undermines the contributions of the other 3 members.

No no no!!! For god's sake, don't be so fucking foolish! For years, Led Zeppelin retained their dignity by refusing to compromise the great legacy that they had, while other rock dinosaurs have disgraced themselves by touring with replacement singers (Queen, INXS, The Doors). Going on tour without Robert Plant would be a real insult, and it will be utterly disastrous. A lot of people thought that even playing the o2 show without Bonham was bad enough, but this really is a step too far. No one else can sing those songs, and shame on them for even suggesting it. Jimmy Page is my musical hero, but he's gone down in my estimation for this.
