Robert Plant turns down $800 million for Zeppelin reunion?

Robert Plant has reportedly thrown a wrench in another "Celebration Day" for Led Zeppelin fans -- though his publicist said the report was "rubbish."

According to a report in the UK Daily Mirror, the Zeppelin lead singer turned down a £500 million ($800 million) contract for a Led Zeppelin reunion.

The other members of the band -- Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones -- were all in, a source told the paper. Jason Bonham, son of the band's late drummer John Bonham, would have taken a fee.

However, Plant's publicist told the UK Guardian that the Mirror report was "rubbish."

The offer to re-form the band was reportedly made by Virgin chairman Richard Branson, a fan of the group, and would have set up dates in three locales: London, Berlin and New Jersey. Full story...
