ROBERT PLANT Says LED ZEPPELIN Has Never Been About The Fans

September 18, 2008

According to ContactMusic.com, Robert Plant has not ruled out another reunion with his band LED ZEPPELIN — insisting it's the bureaucracy involved that puts him off the idea. The band has been dogged by rumors of a world tour since they reformed for a one-off gig in London last year — its first concert in 19 years. But Plant, who is currently touring with bluegrass star Alison Krauss, has so far refused to agree to hit the road with the legendary group again.

He tells Britain's GQ magazine: "The endless paperwork was like nothing I've experienced before. I've kept every one of the e-mails that were exchanged before the concert and I'm thinking of compiling them for a book, which I feel sure would be hailed as a sort of literary version of SPINAL TAP (semi-fictional heavy metal band featured in spoof documentary 'This Is Spinal Tap'). LED ZEPPELIN's never been about the fans. We've always been about four guys coming together to make thrilling, disturbing rock 'n' roll. On our own terms."
