Sun Media has issued the following report from David Schmeichel:
Turns out the rumour mill got it wrong.
Despite reports, there's no way rock icons THE CULT will be hitting the road with monster rockers LED ZEPPELIN, if and when the legendary band should decide to spin a full-blown tour out of its recent one-off reunion show.
In fact, Cult frontman Ian Astbury - who supposedly dropped some not-so-subtle hints to that effect late last year - says the whole scenario is just another case of the press making a big deal out of nothing.
"That really goes to show you how naive people are, and how these things can get blown out of proportion," says Astbury, somewhat testily, from a hotel room in Vancouver. "It's been embellished by journalists ... I haven't even spoken to anyone from Led Zeppelin's camp."Following a Cult gig in Cincinnati last November, Astbury was quoted by Billboard magazine as having promised he'd return to the city in 2008, claiming, "We're opening for a band you may have heard of - the name starts with an 'L' and has a 'Z' in it."
