(Newser) – Rock legend Robert Plant has finally agreed to participate in a Led Zeppelin reunion tour with guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones, and late drummer John Bonham's son Jason, the Sun reports. His bandmates had been rehearsing with stand-in singers.

“When Robert realized the band were serious about doing it without him, it made him think long and hard," a source told the tabloid. "He realized he couldn’t face the thought of not being involved."
