Now the New Musical Express Web site is reporting that Robert Plant told a fan he was going to a meeting with former Led Zeppelin bandmates Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones to discuss reforming the band for the concert discussed in the media. So if you believe the mag-said-fan-said-he-said hype, and if you believe Robert was serious at the time, then we are a little over two months away from a Led Zeppelin reunion!
Jason Bonham
Jason Bonham, son of the late John "Bonzo" Bonham, does not take lightly the responsibility of carrying on his father's legacy. Having made a head start at drumming while he was a child, Jason is now passing on the same lessons to a third generation of Bonham drummers.
John Bonham's death in 1980 left such an impact on the surviving members of Led Zeppelin that they knew immediately they could not continue as they were. Yet Jason Bonham's familiarity with the band made him a shoe-in to join his father's bandmates on the few occasions reunion concerts have taken place.
This year marked the 20th anniversary of Bonham's most successful album release to date, the Platinum-certified disc The Disregard of Timekeeping released by his band, Bonham. To mark the milestone, he recently toured with a new band and played under the banner of "An Evening with Jason Bonham."
In the past, Bonham has also toured and/or recorded with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Foreigner, UFO, Paul Rodgers, Joe Bonamassa, Virginia Wolf, Airrace, Healing Sixes and Motherland. He also acted in the movie Rock Star and appeared on the reality TV show "SuperGroup."

A media news and gossip site commented on the Robert Plant "confirmation" reported in New Musical Express from a journalistic standpoint. Gawker.com hints that the music pub was desperately grasping for some type of confirmation, and apparently just about anything would do. Even an unreliable source: http://idolator.com/tunes/confirm-your-sources/dudes-some-guy-said-led-zeppelin-is-totally-reforming-296540.php
