Plant was too busy for a band meeting.

In an interview with the American magazine Rolling Stone, Jimmy Page said that Led Zeppelin considered a new singer to replace Robert Plant in 2007.

According to Page, after the show at the O2 Arena in London, which generated the DVD, the band had considered extending the reunion into a tour, but Robert Plant was busy with his project with Alison Krauss.

Page says that in early 2008 he, John Paul Jones, and Jason Bonham rehearsed without Robert Plant, concluding that they needed a singer. In the interview, Page didn't mention any candidates for the position, but speculation suggests that Myles Kennedy and Steven Tyler participated in jam sessions with the band at the time.
