ROBERT PLANT has vowed never to reform supergroup LED ZEPPELIN for a stadium tour. He says he'd rather sing their classic hits with his new band STRANGE SENSATION at tiny venues to just 1500 fans. Plant, 57, who plays Edinburgh Corn Exchange next Thursday and Barrowland in Glasgow on October 29, said: "I've not been offered vast sums to reform Led Zeppelin. I would never do it anyway. We were a boy band and I'm not a boy any more. I prefer my career to have a bit of dignity now."
He continues: "My show is sometimes a bit of a hard ticket to sell because it's not about nostalgia. I don't want to do a greatest hitsstyle tour. I want to be thought of alongside people like TOM WAITS, WILLIE NELSON or ALEX CHILTON - guys who turn their music around on themselves."
