Whitesnake - Coverdale Denies Led Zeppelin Tour Statement
LATEST: WHITESNAKE frontman DAVID COVERDALE has denied making comments to the U.K. press about supporting LED ZEPPELIN on tour, insisting he has no idea where the statement came from.
Led Zeppelin reformed for a concert in London in December (07), fuelling rumours they are gearing up for a world tour - which has prompted bands including The Cult and Stone Temple Pilots to express their interest in landing a support slot.
And when asked if Whitesnake would accept an invitation, Coverdale was quoted in the Daily Mirror insisting, "Am I on board? You bet! (It's) probably worth billions!"
However, Coverdale now insists the quotes did not come from him, because Whitesnake are too busy with their own tour to support anybody else.
He tells website Classic Rock.com, "May I call upon your assistance to help put out this s**tstorm that be (sic) gathering steam about me, supposedly saying I'm awaiting Lord Page's call to invite me to be the supporting act on the forthcoming Led Zeppelin world tour. What f**king world tour, we ask ourselves? We're already out on our Good To Be Bad world tour, thank you very much! I have no idea where this started."
And the former Deep Purple rocker admits a union between Led Zeppelin and Whitesnake would be highly unlikely, due to his past conflicts with Led Zeppelin co-founder Robert Plant.
He explains, "I assure you there is no foundation in this. Why, after all the charming back-and-forths between one Monsieur Plant and oneself through the years, who could imagine such a premise possible? Not me.
"Whitesnake will not be joining Led Zeppelin on a world tour."

Ham Sandwich - Carry the Meek
While some sound the death-knell for the album ever louder, there are still plenty whose records drown it out. Like this one.
Freed from the constraints of cool moniker syndrome and worrying whether it fits the sound, Kells quintet Ham Sandwich turn in as assured and alluring a debut as you'll get between now and the turkey.
Two singers, the right mix of poignancy and darkness in its break-up narrative and some well-timed instrument punishment give 'Carry the Meek' a primitive power which few can summon well - the line "I think I got my hearing back" is very apt, but there's a lot done to your heart too.
And, like the most dysfunctional of couplings, you'll keep coming back. Some will find the name unforgivable, but some of the music is unforgettable.

Annie Lennox axed by record label
Annie Lennox was reportedly left devastated after she was dropped from her record label and has branded the move a "kick in the teeth".
The former Eurythmics star was reportedly stunned when Sony BMG stopped answering her phone calls just weeks before her contract was due to expire.
Lennox, 53, said she was shocked at the way she was treated by the company which once hailed her as "one of the finest musical voices of the age".
Soundgenerator.com quotes her as saying: "They totally ignored me. It was bizarre. It was a kick in the teeth. They didn't return my phone calls or emails for three weeks. I'm trying to find out what's behind it.
"Probably a good thing I'm no longer with them - mild understatement. Unless it's them trying to tell me something... Hello!"
The singer admitted she has been left contemplating her future in the music industry.
She added: "It feels like I'm spent, as if I've completely run out of energy.
"I'm going to take my time over the coming months to figure out what to do with this freedom."
