White: Yes to Zeps?

After the death of drummer John Bonham last year, remaining Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones announced the dissolution of the group, saying they could not "continue as we were." But continue they well may: according to a high-placed source in London, Yes drummer Alan White has been contracted to join the three -- not in a revamped Zeppelin, but in an as-yet-to-be-named new band. A spokesman for Zeppelin's record label dismissed the report as "just another rumor. All we've heard from them is the announcement that they were breaking up." But the London source said that after a few months of rehearsal, the new lineup will hit the road under a name, he mused, "something like, Guys Who Used to Be Led Zeppelin."
