Why is Robert Plant refusing to reunite with Led Zeppelin and tour with them?
I am one of the biggest Led Zeppelin fans out here! the band reunited in December of 2008 in London, and rumors have spread about a reunion tour. The biggest rumor involves Robert Plant's refusal to tour with Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Jason Bonham, and a rumor of a replacement for Plant has surfaced. I've been waiting to see Led Zep since 1980, the year John Bonham passed. Does anyone have information as to why Plant is refusing?

perhaps because he has been there, done that, and wants to continue to grow as an artist and not just repeat history
plus he probably doesn't need the money, thats the reason that most bands reunite and tour

Robert has been touring with Alison Krause for a while, maybe he just needs some time with his family.

I agree, it's because he always wants to progress and do different things. His solo albums after Zep testify to that. They were a complete deprature in style.

Led Zep has been having an ongoing argument with Plant, because of his recent success with his country project (which, in my opinion he only got the Grammy because Zeppelin never got one!). Zeppelin has been rumored to audition several artists as temporary frontmen, including Dave Grohl, who is in a band with John Paul Jones, and reportedly even Steven Tyler.
