Plant rejects Led Zeppelin reunion tour deal

Robert Plant has reportedly rejected a £100million offer for a Led Zeppelin tour, preferring to leave last year's reunion concert as their legacy.

According to reports, Robert Plant has rejected a £100million deal to do a Led Zeppelin tour, mainly, apparently, because he already has live dates with collaborator Alison Krauss planned, although it sounds as though he wasn't too bothered in any case, despite having enjoyed the band's one-off reunion last year. Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones were seemingly up for it though.

A Zep 'source' is quoted as saying: "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".
