We realized very quickly that you couldn't and told Peter Grant that Zep was done with John's passing.

Their official statement:

“We wish it to be known that the loss of our dear friend and the deep sense of undivided harmony felt by ourselves and our manager, have led us to decide that we could not continue as we were.”
