Led Zeppelin Put Off Touring Due To Endless Paperwork

Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has insisted it's not that the band don't want to reform, but the huge amounts of paperwork involved with staging a show is putting the group off.

The group have been pestered by fans and the media alike to schedule a full-scale reunion tour, following their London show last year at the O2 Arena.

"The endless paperwork was like nothing I've experienced before," Plant tells GQ Magazine.

"I've kept every one of the emails that were exchanged before the concert and I'm thinking of compiling them for a book, which I feel sure would be hailed as a sort of literary version of Spinal Tap."

"Led Zeppelin's never been about the fans," the singer continued. "We've always been about four guys coming together to make thrilling, disturbing rock 'n' roll. On our own terms."
