Led Zeppelin: 'Reunion tour would be going back to the same old shit'

Led Zeppelin are not going to tour again. We can almost 100% guarantee this. And how do we know? Well, Robert Plant has spoken of his utter disgust at the very thought of the idea.

Fans had been hoping that the iconic rockers would reform for a tour, following the recent emergence of unheard material from the band that is due for future release. The fire was later fuelled when Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis stated that he was 'certain' the band would headline the festival in the future. Now, however, Planet has told Rolling Stone magazine that doing so would be 'the essence of everything shitty about stadium rock'. So we're sorry Michael Eavis, it doesn't look very likely...

"You’re going back to the same old shit," he told the magazine. "A tour would have been an absolute menagerie of vested interests and the very essence of everything that’s shitty about about big-time stadium rock. We were surrounded by a circus of people that would have had our souls on the fire. I’m not part of a jukebox!"

"Do you know why the Eagles said they’d reunite when ‘hell freezes over,’ but they did it anyway and keep touring? It’s not because they were paid a fortune. It’s not about the money. It’s because they’re bored. I’m not bored."

It's not the first time the band have shot down reunion tour hopes, with the band previously telling the BBC that future shows were unlikely. In an interview in April of this year, Page stated that their was 'zero' chance of it happening, before guitarist Jimmy Page added: "I'm sure people would love to hear it. I'm not the one to be asking, I don't sing."
