Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has confirmed that the legendary rock band will be reuniting later this year.
A reunion has been strongly rumored for the last week or so and today (September 5) the singer confirmed it's definitely on.
A fan who met Plant in London today contacted NME.com explaining that the singer said he was on his way to meet bandmates Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones.
"How did you find out about this?" asked Plant when asked about the prospects of a reunion show by the autograph hunter. "Well, we've got a band meeting about it this afternoon about it. There's not a lot to work out as it's only going to be one-off gig."
NME.com has also learned from a music industry source that the show, possibly to take place in November at the 02 in London, will be a charity gig organized by promoter Harvey Goldsmith.
I know there has been many rumours,,just thought this was a`maybe`a maybe all considering its from Robert,,lets hope its true.

Led Zeppelin Announcement Expected Next Week
Led Zeppelin
September 07, 2007, 3:35 PM ET
Ray Waddell, Nashville
Talk of a Led Zeppelin reunion just refuses to go away.
Billboard reported in July that the band may get together for a proposed tribute to the late producer/record mogul Ahmet Ertegun at the O2 in London in November,
Now on Ledzeppelin.com the date 11.13.07 mysteriously appears with the familiar Zep symbols. And several people saw the band touring the O2 during Prince's recent stand at the new 20,000-seat London venue. A press conference next Wednesday (Sept. 12) in London may clear everything up.
There has been talk that tour producers AEG Live and Michael Cohl's CPI (Rolling Stones, Genesis, Barbra Streisand) have put in offers on a Zep tour featuring founding members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones with late drummer John Bonham's son Jason on drums. But it is also well known in the industry that standing offers have been on the table for a Led Zeppelin tour for more than a decade.
Nov. 13 also has another significance: it's the release date of a new Atlantic/Rhino two-disc, 24-track best-of set, "Mothership." Additionally, a deluxe reissue of the soundtrack to the 1976 concert film "The Song Remains the Same" with previously unreleased material and a new DVD edition of that movie will arrive Nov. 20 via Atlantic/Rhino and Warner Home Video, respectively.
Who knows,but it would be nice ;D

I believe that this is really happening, that is if nothing stops it from happening from now until then. But I think that the boys are planning on doing it with Jason Bonham playing the drums. I am going to try to get tickets to go, since this will be a once in a lifetime event. But I am sure that it will be REALLY hard to get tickets. So I probably won't be able to make it. If I do go however, it will cost in the thousands to do it.  |

Listen: Robert Plant on the reunion
From: BBC.CO.UK 2007.09.12
Speaking to BBC WM on Wednesday 12 September 2007, Robert Plant said:
"We [Led Zeppelin] started to get together and talk a lot more about bits and pieces we had remixed..."
"As we got to do that we started talking about that the fact that we really really were all absolutely smashed to pieces when we found that the guy who got us started in the first place, Ahmet Ertegun, had passed away.
"Forty years ago I was playing in the Black Horse in Northfield to, like, ten people. And then two years later Ahmet Ertegun signed our band... and we were off.
"We wanted to pay tribute to the effect that he had had on our careers, and the closeness we had shared with him for all of these years..." Plant confirms that "It's total - only one show.
"The rehearsal sound is superb... the responsibility is enormous.
"I just won't have my shirt quite that open this time around!"
Its great that this is happening and they are paying there respects,I hope they are recording this for a DVD in the future,for all of us that cannot be there.

I am going to try to go even though I really shouldn't be spending the money, because I will have to use a credit card. It isn't too likely that I will be one of the lucky ones who wins a chance at buying tickets though, but it could happen! ;D I do agree with you about them putting it out on DVD. I certainly hope they do, because it is only going to be a one off deal. And not all of us will be lucky enough to go. No matter how hard we try.  |
