Robert Plant turns down £100 million

added: 3 Mar 2008 // by: newsdesk 

Sunday Mirror yesterday reported that Robert Plant has turned down an extra £100 million pay checque to take Led Zepplin on a world tour.

Plant had decided to concentrate on his new partnership with country singer Alison Krauss.

A band source reportedly said: "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 [Page] 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 [Paul Jones] sided with Jimmy. He loved making music with the others again. But Robert wanted to leave last year's concert as their legacy.
