Robert Plant reveals effort to re-unite Led Zeppelin as an acoustic outfit
Says that Jimmy Page dismissed idea promptly
David Bowie touring: He just doesn't need to. Through his astounding comeback album, brilliant music videos, V&A exhibition and even making a majestic appearance in the latest Louis Vuitton ad campaign, the Thin White Duke has seized our attention, appeared on countless magazine covers and dominated every sphere of popular culture in 2013 without uttering a word to the public or even stepping on stage. This is unlikely to change in 2014, especially after his bandmates' insistence of his consistent reluctance to tour. Pity.

Robert Plant has revealed that he once suggested reuniting Led Zeppelin but as an acoustic project.
In a recent interview with Uncut, Plant claims that Page rejected a recent proposal to record new, unplugged music.
"A couple of years ago, I said, 'If you've got anything acoustic, let me know. I'll give it a whirl," said Plant. "It was hands across the water [But Jimmy] just walked away."
Plant's proposal to make unplugged music will not come as a huge shock to fans, as it is very reflective of the kind of music he has recently made.

Even if Led Zeppelin were to reconcile and reunite, Plant does not believe that the band are capable of writing a modern classic, saying: "We couldn't do anything proper. The weight of expectation is too great."
Fans of the classic rock group will also be disappointed to hear that although there is talk of a new tour, Plant and Page do not appear to agree on much regarding this. Plant said of the tour: "I don't know what [Jimmy's] trying to do. I feel slightly disappointed and baffled."
Since 1995, the surviving members of Led Zeppelin have only performed together once, at The O2 Arena in December 2007.
Led Zeppelin will be releasing a set of reissues in October, which will include an unreleased version of 'Stairway To Heaven'.
