According to the UK's Sun, Robert Plant finally caved once he found out that the rest of the band -- including guitar god Jimmy Page, bass deity John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham, the son of rock's arguably greatest drummer John Bonham -- was going ahead without him. The others were so committed to the idea that they were even auditioning singers for Plant's role, and were rumored to have found an American to fill his shoes.
Once Plant absorbed the enormity of Led Zeppelin reuniting and touring without him, as well as the insane amount of money it would bring, he changed his mind and joined the party.
"He realized he couldn’t face the thought of not being involved," a source told the Sun.
