Led Zeppelin's return to Rock & Roll

Following John Bonham's untimely death at the age of 32 in September of 1980, Led Zeppelin broke up, not wanting to continue without their drummer. After 27 years, they came together in December for a reunion concert in London, performing with instant chemistry, with John Bonham's son, Jason, on drums. Reviews of the show described it as "brilliant" and "mind-blowing," thanks to the incredible amount of rehearsal time the band put in since May of 2007. Follwing such a successful reunion, guitarist Jimmy Page wants a world tour! Yay!!! Robert Plant is busy working on a project with Alison Krauss until September (Preview/Buy their recent album, Raising Sand), so the tour wouldn't get underway until likely the end of 2008, or 2009.
