Robert Plant Claims It's Not Him Holding Up A Zeppelin Tour

Outside of the two remaining Beatles teaming up with John and George's sons on stage; is there a Rock revival larger than Led Zeppelin? It would be nice to see Bono and U2. But to legions of fans of Classic Rock that doesn't come close to Robert Plant officially declaring that he's gonna climb onboard a tour bus and hit America. Seriously, he's been teasing people with the idea of a Led Zeppelin reunion in 2014 for too long. Keeping in mind that Plant still believes the band was over years before the death of John Bonham brought their career to an end in 1980. Can such strings be strung up and down a Jimmy Page played music maker? Being that Plant has refused to take part in Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones' return to music; it seems like a total impossibility. Or is it? Classic Rock Magazine checked in with Robert who insists he’s not entirely responsible for the band’s lack of activity, “The two other guys are Capricorns. They don’t say a word. They’re quite contained in their own worlds and they leave it to me… I’m not the bad guy. “You need to see the Capricorns – I’ve got nothing to do in 2014.” He lost five-year-old son Karac in 1977 while Led Zep were on tour and the tragedy led him to plan a career beyond the band until Bonham coerced him into coming back. “I was very sceptical about thinking about whether I had the right to be a parent and go back into that world,” says the singer. “When I lost our boy I applied to see if I could get a role as a teacher. I wanted to be around, a way to enjoy children at the peak of the time before they’re spoilt by the ways of our world. “I always thought, ‘There’s another thing I can do.’ I was detached. I’d left it. But it’s a terrible drug being a good singer. “John Bonham came round in a six-door limousine that he could barely get down the country lane. He had a chauffeur’s hat. He’d sit in the front and I’d be three doors back. He’d talk to me through the intercom – and we were only going to the pub. He’d say, ‘Come on, Percy, you know you can do it, you know you’ll have a great time,’ And so, back I went.” But even in 1977 Plant believed Led Zep had had their day. “We explored lot of music in those days,” he reflects. “But by the time Bonzo drew me back in, it was over anyway. We’d done what we had to do. The world had changed. Other people had arrived and it was the beginning of a whole new movement. It was like we’d lost the keys to the kingdom.”
