Rumour.
According to British “The Guardian”, Led Zeppelin are thinking of replacing Robert Plant with Myles Kennedy as vocalist for their rumoured reunion tour.
The rumour origins from Dee Snider whom in an interview with Canada's MuchMoreMusic network said : "[Led Zeppelin are] saying [to Plant]: 'We're all rehearsed, we're ready to go, here's a gazillion dollars on the table,'" Snider explained. "'If you don't do it, we're going out with this kid. And he can sing the shit out of Zeppelin, and they’re gonna hope that Robert, at the last minute, will go, ‘OK’, and step in.”
Dee Sniders comments have been backed up by producer Kevin "The Caveman" Shirley, who worked on several Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page albums.
Kevin "The Caveman" Shirley wrote on his website cavemanproductions.com : “There is a singer from a Florida heavy metal band who is pretty close to becoming My-Fave-Band-Ever's singer. As the old one has a separate happening career. I have to admit to shock, shock, shock.”
So..Who is Myles Kennedy?
Myles Kennedy (born November 27, 1969) is currently the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist to Alter Bridge, who in turn has released 2 albums; “One Day Remains” in 2004 & “Blackbird” in 2007. Of which “One Day Remains” is a favourite of mine.
Trivia :
* Former vocalist of “The Mayfield Four”
* In 2002, Kennedy was asked by Slash to audition as lead singer of Velvet Revolver, but he declined the offer.
* His top five favorite albums are : Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album, Highway to Hell by AC/DC, What's Going On by Marvin Gaye, and Jeff Buckley's Grace.
* Suffers from tinnitus
* Possesses a 4-octave vocal range, with his longest held on note timed at 22 seconds (in The Mayfield Four's "Summergirl"; his longest note streak with one breath is 31 seconds in Alter Bridge's "Blackbird").
