Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has scotched rumours that he is to tour with the band, describing speculation as “frustrating and ridiculous”.

Last week, The Sun newspaper reported that he had agreed to a reunion tour.

But he has not and will not go on the road with anyone for at least two years after finishing US dates with Alison Krauss on 5 October, a statement said.

“Contrary to a spate of recent reports, Robert Plant will not be touring or recording with Led Zeppelin,” it said.
