MUSIC NEWS- Rock guitarist (and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Nominee) Jeff Beck has come out against Led Zeppelin's reunion plans by insisting that it will be pointless without lead singer Robert Plant. The 64-year-old rock legend, who played in The Yardbirds with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, praised the band's huge reunion concert at London's O2 Arena last December, 2007. But Beck argues, and MNN agrees, that plans for a full-blown tour should be shelved without Plant, who has consistantly refused to join his old band mates full-time. Beck says, "I really don't think it's a good idea, not if Robert doesn't want to. I was there at the one-off show at the O2 Arena and it was fantastic. But I think they should just leave it there. They will have been offered loads of money and it'll be tempting but that's not a good enough reason to me. It would be different if they all wanted to do it and record new material but that's not the case."

It seems that Plant has finally ended speculation that he would rejoin the band in by stating he has, "no intention whatsoever of touring with anyone for at least the next two years." His recent single with Alison Krauss, Please Read The Letter, has been nominated at this year's Grammys for Record of the Year.
