Led Zeppelin Return To Studio - Without Plant

LED ZEPPELIN stars JIMMY PAGE, JOHN PAUL JONES and JASON BONHAM have been working on new material - without frontman ROBERT PLANT.

Drummer Bonham - the son of former bandmember John - admits the new songs could be destined for a new Led Zeppelin album, but confirmed Plant had not been involved with the project.

He says, "At the moment, all I know is I have the great pleasure to go and jam with the two guys and start work on some material.

"When I get there (in the studio) I never ask any questions. If I get a phone call to go and play, I enjoy every moment of it.

"Whatever it ends up as, to ever get a chance to jam with two people like that, it is a phenomenal thing for me. It's my life. It's what I've dreamed about doing."

He adds, "Lots of politics (would need to) get ironed out (before an album could be made)."

Led Zeppelin played their first concert in 19 years at London's 02 arena in December (08).
