LED ZEPPELIN RUMOR UPDATED!

With the announced reunions of Van Halen and the Police, it was only a matter of time until the name Led Zeppelin was thrown into the mix. Rock photographer and Jimmy Page friend Ross Halfin wrote on his website, "John Paul Jones has apparently announced on a Toronto radio station that Led Zeppelin will tour next summer. This of course meant I woke up to a load of mail asking if it's true. Look, I'm not a Led Zeppelin website or news board, I'm sure the official announcement will be out soon with all the details on Jimmy Page's website. The tickets are bound to be cheap -- you can re-mortgage your house to see your heroes."

Jones is supposed to have made the announcement on CILQ-FM, but the station's "Rock Report" says, "None of us have spoken to John Paul Jones recently. If we had, we'd all probably be asking for bass lessons. So to the (idiot) out there spreading rumors... and leading on Zep fans around the world -- your time is gonna come... So once more -- no Zeppelin reunion to speak of. Don't let anybody tell you different."

Of course, that hasn't stopped the British tabloid The Sun from going with the story. Their version says Page, Jones, and Robert Plant met two weeks ago in their management office and quoted a "band insider" as saying, "If the right offer comes up, they will do it," adding that a stadium tour could bring them over $12.5 million.

The late John Bonham's son Jason is supposed to take his father's place on drums. Jason has in recent years been a member of Foreigner, which has dates booked into October.

THE POLICE TO PLAY BOSTON's FENWAY PARK THIS SUMMER

Bruce Simon from IceBergRadio reports that the reunited Police want to play Boston's Fenway Park, with shows on July 28th and 29th, according to Boston TV station WBZ. Fenway Park is the home of the Boston Red Sox, and has hosted big-name concerts over the past few years by the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, and the Dave Matthews Band, among others. There's no word yet on what the Police have planned beyond Sunday (February 11th), when they'll perform on the Grammy Awards telecast on CBS.

Guitarist Andy Summers told us that even though the Police never really said a proper goodbye to their fans, a reunion wouldn't really give him a sense of closure: "I had this sort of conversation with a journalist, and I said, 'Well, it's unfinished business.'And he said, 'Well, why finish it?'And I went, 'You know what? You've got a point there! Why finish anything?'I mean, we get back together, and in fact, it doesn't really finish anything -- all it does is stir it up and put even further heat into the, you know, legacy of the band."

A story in the British press says the Police have been offered in the neighborhood of $300 million for shows in North America and Europe.
