It’s been a long time since they rock n’ rolled, but it appears it won’t be happening to Led Zeppelin any time soon after singer Robert Plant’s latest pronouncement. According to the ageing rock god, their last reunion in 2007 with deceased drummer John Bonham’s son Jason on the kit was fun, but he doesn’t want to do it again.

He says “It was an amazing evening. The preparations for it were fraught and intense, but the last rehearsal was really, really good, for all that it represented and all that we were trying to capture. But I’ve gone so far somewhere else that I almost can’t relate to it…It’s a bit of a pain in the pisser to be honest. Who cares? I know people care, but think about it from my angle – soon, I’m going to need help crossing the street.”
