Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has said that he's open to a reunion of the band next year, saying his schedule is clear for 2014.
Speaking to 60 Minutes in Australia, Plant said he was waiting on his bandmates Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones in order to kick off the reunion, blaming their silence on the fact that they are Capricorns.
