Jones, guitarist Jimmy Page and drummer Jason Bonham had initially planned to perform with a session singer after Plant declared that he did not want to return.
However, the 63-year-old, who is currently playing in supergroup Them Crooked Vultures, has now revealed that the idea has been permanently scrapped.
"Jimmy and I rehearsed a bit with Jason Bonham and we couldn't really agree on singers and that fell by the wayside," he told BBC 6 Music.
"Then this came along and to be honest, I'm really happy."
