When Led Zeppelin reunited to perform in London for a one-night concert late last year, the reunion tour speculation began. Even though Robert Plant is touring with bluegrass singer Allison Krauss for their "Raising Sand" tour and has publicly announced that he would not be up for a Led Zep reunion for at least a couple of years, the band apparently can't wait for him.

According to RollingStone.com, bassist John Paul Jones said that they are in the process of looking for a replacement singer. It may be an attempt to persuade Plant to agree to tour earlier than he'd like. If they do find a fill-in vocalist, I think they can tour the world and do whatever they like. Just don't call yourselves Led Zeppelin. At least for the reunion show, they did the next best thing and got John Bonham's son, Jason, to fill in for his late father behind the drum kit. But in my opinion, if you take one more member out of the equation, especially if that member is the voice, you no longer have Led Zeppelin. Rock fans, the floor is now yours.
