Fans slam Led Zeppelin plans to reunite without Plant

Plans to replace the singer have met with a hostile reception

I've been a Led Zeppelin fan for 25 years. Fantastic band with a fantastic legacy worth protecting. Some may argue that touring on any terms taints that legacy. I disagree. It's their music, the fans want it, and they should be allowed to have fun with it. Besides, the reunion show was proof enough that they still have something worth sharing. However, without Plant, it's rubbish. Sad enough that Bonham cannot participate, BUT, as it's his son as a replacement, it... it just seems okay. He's family to each member. But, no Plant? That's as ridiculous as Queen with no Freddie Mercury. The Doors with no Jim Morrison. Alice in Chains without Layne Stayley. INXS without Michael Huthcence. If Fallout Boy replaced their singer, who gives a shit?! This is not the same thing. These are frontman of iconic stature, and who had a HUGE impact on the their band's sound and presence. Any attempt to do is laughable and should not be supported. The song will not remain the same.
