JEFF BECK Will Not Take Part In THE YARDBIRDS Reunion Tour

July 23, 2007

Launch Radio Networks reports: Jeff Beck will not be part of the equation if THE YARDBIRDS reunite this year. His manager told Billboard.com that despite recent rumors, the guitarist has no plans to tour with Jimmy Page, founding bassist Chris Dreja and drummer Jim McCarty as THE YARDBIRDS this fall. Beck will, however, play Eric Clapton's Crossroads festival in Chicago next month and has nothing else scheduled right now.

Page and Beck played together in THE YARDBIRDS in 1966. The band broke up two years later, but Dreja and McCarty have been touring as THE YARDBIRDS over the last 20 years.

THE YARDBIRDS' original lead singer, Keith Relf, was electrocuted to death in 1976 at his home studio.

THE YARDBIRDS were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. Clapton, Beck and Page were among the members who appeared at the ceremony.
