Led Zeppelin turn down Richard Branson's £500MILLION offer to reform for 35-night tour

Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant tore up Sir Richard Branson's £500million contract to reform the band for a 35 date tour, it has been reported.

Even though the other members of the widely-adored rock band had agreed to the record-breaking deal, the band's frontman, 66, ripped up the document in front of promoters.

It is estimated the tour would have made Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones £190million each before tax.
