John Paul Jones: "No idea" about Led Zeppelin plans

Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones said at BBC Radio 2's annual Folk Awards in London on Monday night (February 4th) that the band has "no idea" about its future plans yet, according to Gigwise.com. When asked if the group members had spoken with each other since their acclaimed reunion show in December, Jones told the BBC, "I am obliged to say we have and we have absolutely no idea of what we are going to be doing."

Jones had said shortly after the reunion concert that the band would meet in January to discuss its future.

Guitarist Jimmy Page said at a press conference in Japan last month that the band was "musically ready" to go on a world tour, although the earliest that was likely to happen was September.

The delay seems mainly due to the schedule of singer Robert Plant, who will be touring with singer Alison Krauss to support their collaborative CD, Raising Sand. When asked recently in New York about the chances of a full-blown Zeppelin tour, Plant said, "You never know what is around the corner."

Page, Plant and Jones performed together for the first time in nearly two decades at the December 10th show in London, joined by late Zeppelin drummer John Bonham's son Jason behind the kit.

Since the show, speculation has been rampant that Zeppelin will launch a full tour, with massive offers reportedly on the table already.
