Adesso è la volta di Chris Cornell ex audioslave e soundgarden.....
Former Soundgarden/ Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell has cagily thrown his hat into the ring for the "Led Zep" frontman job.
Speaking to MTV News the singer said that he’d heard his name mentioned in relation to the new Page/Bonham/Jones band and although he hadn’t been asked yet he wasn’t going to deny that it could happen.
“I have not been approached so far to fill in for Robert Plant on the upcoming Zeppelin tour, but that isn't to say I won't be,” he told MTV.
“I've heard that from about 200 people now, and it might be one of those situations where it's just an online rumour or it might be true.” Cornell continued. “But if you see anyone from Led Zeppelin around, let me know. I think I should actually fill in for Jimmy Page on the Robert Plant/ Alison Krauss tour.”
Meanwhile, Billboard magazine have been told by their sources that Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy is the current frontrunner.
Other names mentioned in relation to the vacant slot have included Jack White from the White Stripes (who has denied any involvement), the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl (who sang with Jones & Page at Wembley earlier this year) and former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar.
It's widely expected that whatever form the band finally takes, they won't be calling themselves Led Zeppelin.
