London, Sept. 1 (ANI): The grapevine has it that legendary rock band Led Zeppelin are gearing up to make their comeback to the music world with a one off show at the O2 arena, the concert hall housed in the former Millennium Dome.

Sources have revealed that the members of the band are in talks with the owners of the venue, which has a capacity to accommodate an audience of about 20,000 people, to stage a concert at the end of the year.

Earlier, speculations were doing the round that the three surviving members of the group-Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul-had been planning to perform their greatest hits at a memorial concert for the late Island Record boss Ahmet Ertegun.

The reports now suggest that the group, disbanded 27 years ago, has chosen the venue for its comeback.

Although there has been no official confirmation, sources insist that the group was in constant touch with the owner of the venue in Greenwich, south east London. The talks are ongoing but it looks like a definite possibility. Nothing has been finalised but fingers crossed the most anticipated comeback concerts ever could become a reality," the Telegraph quoted a source as saying.

The source also revealed that late drummer Johan Bonham will be replaced by his son Jason.

The gig is likely to coincide with the release of a greatest hits collection for November.

Although a national newspaper has already published advertisements about a Led Zeppelin comeback concert, promoters have urged fans not to buy tickets because nothing is confirmed as yet.

When drummer John Bonham died in 1980, his bandmates declared that Led Zeppelin had died with him. The trio's only other reunions were a disappointing performance at the 1985 Live Aid concert, with Genesis drummer Phil Collins, and their 1995 induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
