Fans slam Led Zeppelin comeback

Fans of rock legends Led Zeppelin have hit out at the band's plans to tour without frontman Robert Plant.

T he legendary rockers' bassist John Paul Jones admitted this week that the group is seeking a replacement for Plant so they can hit the road and also record new material.

But the announcement has prompted outrage from some fans, who have bombarded Internet forums to criticise the move.

One user wrote on NME.com: "Sacrilege, how can they do this?"

And another wrote: "Ridiculous...Plant's voice is half of what made Zep who they were. It simply isn't Led Zeppelin without him."
