Robert Plant Turns Down $200 Million For Led Zeppelin World Tour.

Rock God, Robert Plant allegedly turned down an extra $200 million for a Led Zeppelin world tour. The Zeppelin frontman wants to concentrate on his new partnership with country singer Alison Krauss. The duo recently won a Grammy for the album they put out together late last year.



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 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."



It takes a lot of balls to turn down that kind of money, even if it's "not about the money." Somewhere, John Bonham is smiling.
