Led Zeppelin's camp isn't exactly trying to douse rumors that the band will tour next year with The Cult as the opening act.

During a recent show in Cincinnati, The Cult's Ian Astbury said, "We'll be back next year because we're opening for a band you may have heard of -- the name starts with an 'L' and has a 'Z' in it."

A fan then yelled out "Led Zeppelin" and Astbury nodded his approval while pumping his arm in the air.

A spokesperson for the Cult was unavailable for comment, but Led Zeppelin's rep said, "No decision to tour has been made, and the band is focusing on the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute at the O-2 Arena in London on December 10th."

When the Doors reformed in 2002 (with Police drummer Stewart Copeland in place of John Densmore), they recruited Astbury as their frontman and the result drew rave reviews.

See for yourself. Here is footage of Astbury playing with original Doors members, Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek on the Late, Late Show with Craig Kilborn.
