Led Zeppelin Tour A Non-Starter
It's been reported that Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has decided against playing with his former bandmates again thus making it highly unlikely that the rock gods will ever grace a stage together again.
Depsite the demand from fans and the willingness of bandmates Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones to hit the road for a full world tour and a £100 million pay packet, the erstwhile frontman has decided to focus on his own solo career.
The perennial 'source close to the band' told The Sunday Mirror:
"Despite the enormous offer, the decision did not come down to money. They always said they would do the one-off show and then see how they felt.
"Jimmy had enjoyed the concert in December enough to want to tour. He argued they still had something to offer. He likes the idea of another chapter in the band - the grown-up tour.
"John sided with Jimmy. He loved making music with the others again. But Robert wanted to leave last year's concert as their legacy. They had proved they could still do it and that was enough.
"He has other commitments and is happier looking forward to those. Robert put the mockers on the tour."
