Robert Plant, CBE

Robert Plant CBE, is best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the the iconic 70s rock band and global phenomenon that was Led Zeppelin. Together they sold in excess of 300 million records worldwide. 

Zeppelin, are one of those bands who continue to influence and inspire artists and musicians - generation after generation. Sadly, the Led Zeppelin era ended in 1980 with the death of Drummer John Bonham.

The essence of Bonham is what he didn't play rather than what he did play - what he left out.
You would find in a lot of the Zep stuff that the riff was the juggernaut that careered through and I worked the lyrics around this.

Plant has put his wide-ranging and eclectic musical talents to excellent use on solo albums, with Jimmy Page, and in recordings with bands like The Honeydrippers (with Jeff Beck 1984), Priory of Brion (1999-2000), Strange Sensation (2001-2007), Alison Krauss (2007-2008), Band of Joy (2010-2011) and the Sensational Space Shifters (2012-present).

The whole idea of music, from the beginning of time was for people to be happy. Music is for every single person that walks the planet. The music beckons to those who are listening.
Don't be hard on yourself and take as many chances, risks, as you can.You can't give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside - so be it. But at least you know you tried.
Ten minutes in the music scene was equal of one hundred years outside of it.There'e still time to change the road you're on.
