Zep's New Singer?

Myles Kennedy formerly of The Mayfield Four and Alterbridge--aka Creed 2.0, heh heh--is rumored to be at the top of the list of candidates to front Led Zeppelin for an upcoming tour.

While original frontman Robert Plant has told the press he'd be taking 2 years off from any touring commitments, solo and otherwise, sources inform us that at the heart of Plant's decision not to tour with Zeppelin is his inability to properly sing many of the band's classic tunes, and thus, to not shortchange the band's fans. Quite noble, indeed.

Meanwhile, we have a question: how is it that the 1980 death of drummer John Bonham precluded the remaining members from continuing but now they have no problem cashing in without their iconic lead singer as well?

(PS: If Alterbridge is inactive during that Zep reunion could it mean the return of Creed??!!)

they're ignoring the obvious choice for lead singer, and it ain't David Coverdale. I'[m talking bout the only person who can sing Zep songs like Bobby P back in the day...Ann Wilson!

Interesting choice. But as a bud said today, let's just hope whatever they do they don't call it Led Zeppelin.

Absolutely agree with the pick (I saw her a couple of years ago in a small venue in North Ontario), it could be call...Led Heart!!!!!
