But he said that fans could have to wait until Autumn 2009 as band members had to tie up individual projects first.
Late 2009 for more Zeppelin! With rumours that the three J's, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham, have been putting in some studio time, late 2009 would give time to get some support material released.
Page and Jones performed Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London with the Foo Fighters. Cross your fingers Zeppelin fans, more may be to come, including that possible 40th anniversary tour.More Zeppelin to Come

Led Zeppelin Perform with the Foo FIghters
The rumours through the week ran that Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham would reunite on-stage with the Foo Fighters Saturday night. The rumours where 2/3 true, as Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones performed Rock and Roll and Ramble On with the Foo Fighters during the final encore at Wembley Stadium in London.
The Zeppelin duo joined the Foos to play Rock and Roll with Dave Grohl on drums and Taylor Hawkins singing. Grohl and Hawkins then switched places for Ramble On. In the past Grohl has intimated that he would be willing to drum for Zeppelin should they reunite, so this event probably falls in the dream come true category for Grohl. However, there is no indication that anybody in camp Zeppelin is unhappy with Bonham, or that Bonham is dumb enough to turn down the payday should he be offered, so expect this to be a one off.
Update: Video now available of Rock and Roll. How long it will stay up is anybody's guess:
