Robert Plant has turned down an extra £100 million (about $200 million) fortune to take Led Zeppelin on a world tour.
The rock legend wants to concentrate on his new partnership with US country singer Alison Krauss… spelling the likely end of the famous band.
Led Zep fans had been longing for a tour announcement since last year – when the 1970s superstars reformed for a one-off show at London’s O2 Arena.
Surviving members Plant, Robert Page and John Paul Jones were offered a guaranteed £100m each for a tour of North America and Europe after a million fans applied for O2 tickets.
A band source said: “Jimmy had enjoyed the concert in December enough to want to tour. But Robert wanted to leave last year’s concert as their legacy. They had proved they could still do it and that was enough.”
