Jason Bonham has revealed that Led Zeppelin got very close to touring without Robert Plant.
Talking to musicradar.com, the drummer said: “It got as close as you could get. It got real close. You know, we did a year of writing and putting stuff together. I loved working with Jimmy (Page) and John Paul (Jones). It was so much fun. That band…I think we felt more like a band than Black Country Communion.”
However, Bonham refused to reveal who the singer would have been, although he denied it was Alter Bridge’s Myles Kennedy (currently fronting Slash’s band), as was popularly rumoured.
Bonham is now a member of Black Country Communion, who release debut album Black Country on September 20.

He may have been quoted out of context or selectively quoted but that statement about BCC doesn’t sound very positive!
Wouldn’t have been Zeppelin then! If they toured without John & Robert, then that’d leave JPJ and Jimmy Page.
So technically, I could say I saw Led Zeppelin at Wembley stadium when I watched Foos there, because it was still JPJ and Jimmy playing Zep songs.
Enough with the Zep reunion crap. It’s over. Didn’t happen. The world has moved on!
I don’t think it would be right to on tour as Zeppelin without Plant … but if it had to be I think Chris Robinson would be a a nice fit.
He did a wonderful job when Page toured with the Crowes.
