The Streets - Skinners Epic Promo Trek

THE STREETS star MIKE SKINNER is intending to make the video for his next single one to remember - he is walking from Britain to France for the promo.

The British rapper wants a new direction for the video to promote the band's upcoming single The Escapist, and insists the epic trek will get people interested in the song.

And the star has seemingly found inspiration for the promo from another globe-trotting Brit - Monty Python star Michael Palin.

Skinner says, "For this work of creative moving imagery I have decided to walk to the south of France. I will be relaying the highlights of it with you over the next few weeks of my journey.

"From a grey Dover (Cliffs) I bid my English and Albion farewell. Long live Michael Palin."

Led Zeppelin - Tour Promoter No Led Zeppelin Dates Planned

LATEST: LED ZEPPELIN's tour promoter has quashed fans' hopes of a comeback tour this summer (08), insisting new internet reports of a series of live dates in Canada are just false "rumours".

Earlier this month (May08), a news blog on Canadian music TV channel's Much Music website reported that the legendary rockers were due to play four shows at the Skydome/Rogers Centre stadium in Toronto this August (08).

Led Zeppelin founders Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones reunited last year (07) for a one-off tribute show to late music mogul Ahmet Ertegun in December.

The trio has fuelled speculation of more dates with remarks made in a series of interviews since the December concert in London.

But Debra Rathwell, a spokeswoman for the band's gig promoters Anschutz Entertainment Group Live, has dismissed the reports as hearsay, insisting there is no such tour planned.

She adds, "Alison Krauss and Robert Plant are touring together till at least the end of July, and Plant has made it perfectly clear that he doesn't want to tour with Led Zeppelin.

"Of course, stranger things have happened, but I can tell you that my office is not involved in any Led Zeppelin concerts in Toronto or anywhere else."

Frontman Plant is currently promoting his duet album Raising Sands with bluegrass star Alison Krauss with shows across the U.S. and Europe.
