Led Zeppelin’s recent, and possibly only, massive reunion gig that took place last December at the O2 Arena, might get on DVD.

Although Led Zep’s first impressions on the already famous O2 gig, Robert Plant made an announcement that shocked and saddened rockers from all over the world: Led Zep will not tour!
