The millions of fans of Led Zeppelin can sigh in relief, the reunion rumors are over.
“Led Zeppelin are over!” Jimmy Page’s manager declared this past week. After more than a year of tour and reunion rumours, Peter Mensch wants the gossiping to cease. “There are absolutely no plans for [the band] to continue. Zero. Frankly, I wish everybody would stop talking about it.”
Of course, it’s Mensch himself who fanned the flames of rumour this week, thanks to a BBC 6 Music interview in which he predicted a Led Zeppelin tour – and even a new record. Mensch now says he hasn’t spoken to the BBC “for like four months or something”, rendering the whole business rather confusing. It doesn’t help that the BBC interview, posted on 7 January, 2009, is dated 7 January, 2008.
There is nothing ambiguous about Mensch’s most recent comments however. “If you didn’t see them in 2007,” he told Music Radar, referring to Led Zeppelin’s one-off reunion concert, “you missed them. It’s done. I can’t be any clearer than that”.
