LED ZEPPELIN's ROBERT PLANT Talks To UK's Channel 4 News; Video Available

November 21, 2007

Legendary LED ZEPPELIN frontman Robert Plant was interviewed by UK's Channel 4 News on Tuesday (November 20) about the band's upcoming reunion gig and his collaborative album with Alison Krauss. Watch the four-minute report below.

THE CULT frontman Ian Astbury reportedly announced during a show in Cincinnati, Ohio on Saturday (November 17) that his band will support LED ZEPPELIN on a 2008 tour.

According to an MTV.com report, Astbury told the crowd, "We'll be back next year because we're opening for a band you may have heard of ... the name starts with an 'L' and has a 'Z' in it." After a fan shouted, "LED ZEPPELIN," Astbury nodded and raised his arm in the air.

According to Billboard.com, a spokesperson for THE CULT had no comment on Astbury's remarks. A LED ZEPPELIN spokesperson could not be reached at deadline.

However, there is growing speculation that ZEPPELIN, who will perform a one-off Dec. 10 show in London in tribute to the late Ahmet Eretgun, will indeed tour next year, with or without THE CULT.

It is understood that conversations have already taken place to gauge the willingness of surviving bandmates Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones to hit the road, and there are unconfirmed reports that U.S. venues have already been approached about holding summer dates.
