No Tour for Reunited Led Zeppelin

Fans hoping the recently reunited Led Zeppelin would take the show on the road to rake in a mountain of cash are going to be disappointed.

The band, which is set to play its first show in more than 25 years Nov. 26 at London's O2 Arena (read full story), has no plans to get on the road and make its reunion more than a one-off affair.

Front man Robert Plant told The Daily Express that the band wanted to take the stage one last time to retire with a massive show rather than some of the iffier ones that surrounded its touring years.

Yeashright... Oh go on Led Zeppelin...
