Led Zeppelin world tour likely
Those Led Zeppelin tour rumors, which were on the back burner of late, have again been reignited and it now appears that the legendary British band will indeed embark on a world tour in the coming months.
According to the U.K.’s Daily Mirror, Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant, whose reluctancy has been one of the initial reasons the band has yet to tour thus far, is now warming up to the idea, and it is “almost certain” the band will play a number of shows begining in 2009.
Supergroup Led Zeppelin are set to reform for a world tour after their triumphant one-off reunion concert…
A long-time pal, Whitesnake’s frontman David Coverdale, said yesterday the tour was “very likely” and he was expecting to be the support act.
David said: “I’m expecting a call from Jimmy any day asking my band Whitesnake to support them on their world tour. Am I on board? You bet. Probably worth billions!
More as it comes…
I’m beginning to think that the only way these Led Zep rumors start is if some opening band says they expect it to happen and THEY will be the opening act…first it was The Cult..then Velvet Revolver…the Foo Fighters…now Whitesnake? I’m sure I’m missing a few hopefuls but jesus christ…Whitesnake? Until they announce something concrete I wont believe a damn thing from the British press regarding speculation of a world tour
Mr. Coverdale will now proceed to wait by his telephone for the next fifteen years, yelling at his family to keep their calls short because Robert and Jimmy will be ringing at any moment.
You know, this is the type of thing that could turn ugly and sink the entire tour…end it before it ever begins. I’m beginning to think Plant’s “relunctancy” to reunite over the years has been due to the thought of Whitesnake opening for him. Just how long has Coverdale been hounding him?
mm
I love Zep but I fuckin hate 80s hair metal
Coverdale wishes he could open for Zeppelin
Whitesnake? Hmm.
