LONDON — Robert Plant says there’s no truth to reports that he turned down a lucrative offer from Virgin boss Richard Branson to play Led Zeppelin reunion shows.
A statement from Plant spokesman Ken Weinstein says the singer “has not been in receipt of any offers in recent months” about Led Zeppelin gigs, and hasn’t met or communicated with Branson in 50 years.
Citing a Led Zeppelin song, Branson said in a blog post he was “dazed and confused” by reports he had offered the band $800 million to reform.
Led Zeppelin disbanded after drummer John Bonham died in 1980. Surviving members Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones last performed together in 2007.
