Led Zeppelin to Tour One Last time for $800 million?
Richard Branson recently offered the three living members of Led Zeppelin (and Jason Bonham, son of the late drummer, John) $800 million to reunite for a final tour, and three eagerly signed up.
However, lead singer Robert Plant, 66 ripped the contract to shreds in front of promoters. Now, they are thinking they cannot possibly have the tour without him.
Plant had said before, "I have to be in some brand new zones quite regularly... It's an insane thing to do, to go back."
Branson's tour was to include 35 tour dates across three cities: London, Berlin, and a New Jersey City. In addition, he was to name a jet "The Starship" and use that to fly the group from venue to venue, with $100,000 purchasable seats in the back for fans.
It was to be lucrative, with a projected $150,000 estimated revenue from merchandise, not including concert tickets. And with that came an option to tour more cities with 45 new shows.
