Chris Cornell denies Led Zeppelin frontman rumours

Former Soundgarden and Audioslave vocalist Chris Cornell has denied rumours he is to front Led Zeppelin on their forthcoming world tour.

Since news broke of original frontman Robert Plant’s reluctance to commit to the band, Cornell has been mooted to front the reformed rockers along with Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, ex-Van Halen singer Sammy Hagar, White Stripes’ Jack White and Alter Bridge’s Myles Kennedy.

“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," Cornell told MTV News. "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.”

Meanwhile, Cornell will release his third solo album, Scream, in January.

He should do it. Would probably be a lot better than what he's doing now.

shouldnt be touring without rob plant let alone the late, great john bonham

Unfortunatly, Led Zeppelin died the same day as Bonham, they said that themselves and no amount of money can change that, well at least for one member it cant!

but surely...

Surely though they idea of a comeback tour that you would do it with all the original members that aren't basically dead. So Plant not wanting to do it...the voice of led zep...would bring all plans of a world tour to a stop...
