Yes, that is a possibility if the rest of the current incarnation of Led Zeppelin (Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham, son of John) doesn’t get a “yes” as to whether or not Robert Plant wants to tour with them. [Apparently](http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article1712616.ece), the rest of the band has been rehearsing with “stand-in vocalists” including an unnamed American who “has been so impressive the other band members are confident they could hit the road next year WITHOUT their iconic frontman,” according to UK’s *The Sun*.
Zep without Plant. Yeah, that’s wrong on more than one level. Plant is just not that easily replaced. Really, he can’t be replaced at all. Go listen to *How the West Was Won* or watch the double DVD live set if you don’t think so.
Zep protected its legendary status by not reuniting for years and years out of respect for the fans (and, perhaps, Bonzo). Now, they suggest that Led Zeppelin can be Led Zeppelin without **THE** frontman.
Um, no.
UPDATE: Today (9/26/08), [The Sun](http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/music/article1735624.ece) is reporting that Plant has since agreed to do a 2009 summer reunion tour with the remaining Zepp members. Under the ridiculous headline, “Led Yep,” The Sun states that the “serious” threat of Jimmy and Co. was the reason that Plan gave in.
Even if the ticket price for a Zep show next year is my right hand I’m so there.
All together now: There’s a lady who’s sure…
UPDATE 2: 9/29
The “Rob Plant is going to tour with Zep” statement is [a rumor](http://www.nme.com/news/led-zeppelin/40059)….*sigh*
