Led Zepplin’s Robert Plant reportedly turned down an $US800 million (A$865.57 million) offer from billionaire Sir Richard Branson to get the band back together for a 35-date reunion tour.

Plant, who last toured Australia in 2013 with his new band, has been at odds with Led Zepplin’s guitarist Jimmy Page for years and has long said he would never reunite with his former group.

Britain’s Sunday Mirror reported that Branson tried to entice the group into getting back together but the deal fell through after Plant refused, despite Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham, son of late drummer John Bonham, having agreed

A source told the publication, “Jimmy, John and Jason signed up immediately… It was a no-brainer for them but Robert asked for 48 hours to think about it. When he said no and ripped up the paperwork he had been given, there was an enormous sense of shock… There is no way they can go ahead without him.

“Branson tried to pull out all of the stops. But even his money was not enough to get Plant to sign up. He is gutted.”

The surviving members of Led Zeppelin last performed together during a one-off gig in London in 2007.
