Robert Plant has categorically ruled out reports that he will complete the Led Zeppelin reunion next year.

The singer released a statement saying: Contrary to a spate of recent reports, Robert Plant will not be touring or recording with Led Zeppelin.

Last week 'The Sun' claimed Plant had finally decided to join the other members- Jason Bonham, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page- with a comeback.

Plant also suggested he had been angered by the claims. The statement continued: It's both frustrating and ridiculous for this story to continue to rear its head when all the musicians that surround the story are keen to get on with their individual projects and move forward.

The singer has enjoyed recent success with his two albums made with Alison Krauss- including a Mercury nomination.

The other three Led Zep stars however have reportedly already been rehearsing for a 2009 tour and working on new material

Another rumour suggests an already established US rock singer will fill Plants place in the classic group.
