Paul McCartney has expressed his disappointment at Led Zeppelin's decision to reunite without frontman Robert Plant. The Kashmir hitmakers announced last month that they plan to hit the road in 2009 without Plant, who has opted out of the reunion shows.
The remaining members of Zeppelin are now auditioning singers to take over vocals. McCartney says, "What's happened to Planty? He was great at their gig. It's such a pity."

Sir Cliff Richard and The Shadows have announced they are to reform for a final tour.
The legends will play 11 shows around arenas in the UK this autumn.
Richard, Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Brian Bennett originally split in 1968, after a string of influential hits, including "Move It", often referred to as one of the first British rock'n'roll songs.

Paul McCartney has expressed a desire to collaborate with both Bob Dylan and former Talking Heads mainman David Byrne. Speaking to Absolute Radio, the ex-Beatle said, "Bob Dylan would be lovely [to collaborate with] because I admire him. And I was thinking the other day maybe David Byrne, because I like him too." Meanwhile, McCartney also revealed that the lyrics on his new album Electric Arguments – a collaboration with producer Youth released under the moniker The Fireman – were largely improvised compositions: "So we went in the studio and we just started to do something different, and because the other two albums had always been on the one chord, like Indian music, we decided we'd stick a couple of other chords in, so it went in a completely different direction. "Then it kind of seemed like it might need vocals and words, so I said 'But I haven't got any songs', and therefore no words or melodies or anything. So at the risk of humiliation and compete and utter degradation, I went in through the mic and listened to the track that we'd made, and I just started going [singing]…making it up, yes." The former Beatle also revealed that his recent gig in Israel coincided with a visit to the site that is believed to be the birthplace of Jesus.McCartney said: "There is this... just a hole in the ground, and so you go away and you sort of think, and it kind of haunts you, this little black hole. I kept sort of thinking it looked more like an ashtray!"
Now now, Paul. There's no need to try to reignite the old "bigger than Jesus" debacle after all these years.

Lanois win:
Along with producer Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois has put his stamp on six U2 albums, starting with 1984's The Unforgettable Fire. Their next collaboration with the band is due early next year, the title rumored to be No Line On The Horizon. In an interview with the Boston Herald, Lanois discussed his history with U2 and how, in his words, they have "reinvented" rock 'n' roll with the upcoming record.
What's U2's new stuff like? "The president of the company is singing better than ever and the tracks are wildly innovative. I would never have thought things would have gone this way. I believe, well, rock 'n' roll has been reinvented one more time

fireman rules!
Paul McCartney says it's time an experimental Beatles track saw the light of day. McCartney says he wants to release "Carnival of Light," a 14-minute experimental track the Fab Four recorded in 1967 but never released. The band played the recording for an audience just once, at an electronic music festival in London.
It reportedly includes distorted guitar, organ sounds, gargling and shouts of "Barcelona!" and "Are you all right?" from McCartney and John Lennon.

Drummer for Jimi Hendrix found dead in Portland, Ore., hotel room

* What's this
By Mary Hudetz, The Associated Press ADVERTISEMENT
PORTLAND, Ore. - Mitch Mitchell, drummer for the legendary Jimi Hendrix Experience of the 1960s and the group's last surviving member, was found dead in his hotel room early Wednesday. He was 61.
Mitchell was a powerful force on "Are You Experienced?" the 1967 debut album of the Hendrix band, and the band's albums "Electric Ladyland" and "Axis: Bold As Love." He had an explosive drumming style that can be heard in hard-charging songs such as "Fire" and "Manic Depression."
The Englishman had been drumming for the Experience Hendrix Tour, which performed Friday in Portland. It was the last stop on the West Coast part of the tour.
Hendrix died in 1970. Noel Redding, bass player for the trio, died in 2003.
An employee at Portland's Benson Hotel called police after discovering Mitchell's body.
Erin Patrick, a deputy medical examiner, said Mitchell apparently died of natural causes. An autopsy was planned.
"He was a wonderful man, a brilliant musician and a true friend," Janie Hendrix, chief executive of the Experience Hendrix Tour and Jimi Hendrix's stepsister, said in a statement. "His role in shaping the sound of the Jimi Hendrix Experience cannot be underestimated."
Bob Merlis, a spokesman for the tour, said Mitchell had stayed in Portland for a four-day vacation and planned to leave Wednesday.
"It was a devastating surprise," Merlis said. "Nobody drummed like he did."
He said he saw Mitchell perform two weeks ago in Los Angeles, and the drummer appeared to be healthy and upbeat.
Merlis said the tour was designed to bring together veteran musicians who had known Hendrix - like Mitchell - and younger artists, such as Grammy-nominated winner Jonny Lang, who have been influenced by him.
Mitchell was a one-of-a-kind drummer whose "jazz-tinged" style was a vital part of both the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Experience Hendrix Tour that ended last week, Merlis said. "If Jimi Hendrix were still alive," Merlis said, "he would have acknowledged that."
During his career Mitchell played with the best in the business - not just Hendrix, but also Eric Clapton, John Lennon, the Rolling Stones, Jack Bruce, Jeff Beck, Muddy Waters and others.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame in 1992. According to the Hall of Fame, Mitchell was born July 9, 1947 in Ealing, England.
Hendrix, Redding and Mitchell held their first rehearsal in October 1966, according to the Hall of Fame's website.
In an interview last month with the Boston Herald, Mitchell said he met Hendrix "in this sleazy little club."
"We did some Chuck Berry and took it from there," Mitchell told the newspaper. "I suppose it worked."
