This story comes from London newspaper The Sun, who apparently have a bit of a dodgy reputation. So take it, for now, with a grain of salt:
LED ZEPPELIN frontman ROBERT PLANT is to be given an ultimatum by his bandmates – join us on tour or we’ll replace you.
Zep guitarist JIMMY PAGE, bassist JOHN PAUL JONES and drummer JASON BONHAM have been busy recently rehearsing in West London’s Ritz Studio and using stand-in vocalists.
And one American singer has been so impressive the other band members are confident they could hit the road next year WITHOUT their iconic frontman...
A source said: “Jimmy, Jason and John are determined a tour will go ahead next year.
As said before, take it for what it's worth. However, when Jason Bonham left Foreigner, that action suggested something was up, so perhaps there's some truth here.

You know, I find it decidedly odd that every time Robert gets an award for his OWN work, or is preparing to go out on the road again, one of these rumors crops up and takes over all the news, effectively burying everything else. I'm not a conspiracy theory kind of person but it's starting to get ridiculous.
If I were Robert, having someone issue an "ultimatim" when I have a thriving, award-winning career on my own would be the quickest way to get me to say "give it your best shot, mates".
