Because Led Zeppelin will never return, according to Robert Plant

The singer praised her solo work together with Saving Grace and excluded the possibility of making new shows with her old band

Robert Plant I said the times reiterated that a return from Led Zeppelin It is out of the question. The singer has never thrilled the idea of resuming the band, even with financially astronomical proposals.

The meeting held in 2007 was punctual, just to honor the deceased Ahmet Estrateunfounder of Atlantic Records. According to Plant, this will not be repeated in any other context.

But what would be the reason for this disinterest in playing again with your old group?

According to the singer, the answer passes through the freedom he found to perform in small places, without a lot of pressure, and where he can have fun alongside his support band – currently, the Saving grace.

In a recent interview with CrazyPlan allowed no longer had to be involved in large musical events:

“For me, for passing a Live help very questionable for the O2 ArenaFor (Barack) Obama and the White house (node Honors of the Kennedy Center) And all these great things have been beatified. I felt the attraction to do it (smaller shows) – the Saving grace He just needed to go on in his glory, as I would say Mavis (Staples). “

He added:

“The current shows are quite small that if nobody wants to go, it is not the end of the world. And then, with that attitude of Laissez -Faire (‘leave it happening), quiet, whatever you call it -he is! -Yestically to go to the football stadium with some old friends, we were free. We could have fun.”

More Bert Jansch than Axl Rose

The eternal god of gold has finished saying that to its current taste, the intimate performances are much more demanding than the enormous and clear shows:

“We have to be very careful now to make sure it is closer to Bert Jansch Of Axl Rose. “

Another justification

In an interview from 2022 a Times of Los Angeles (Via Igor Miranda website), when he promoted his partnership with the singer Alison KraussRobert Plant has offered other justifications, although similar to those presented at the present time. He said:

“Back to the source to have a sort of mass applause – this actually does not satisfy my need to be stimulated. I know there are people of my generation who do not want to stay at home and end up going out. If they are enjoying and doing what they need to spend the days, then this is their problem.”

Already in 2018, Dwellhe underlined:

“If I did not do it (not challenging the audience and yourself with your solo career), it would be a prostitute, and I will never be like this. I am only a singer who gets bored very quickly. And if I am so, what I am doing with almost 70 years that I bore?

In chat with the magazine I waitIn 2020, the singer even turned off the phone when he was asked for a return from the group. The journalist Felipe Branco Cruz asked: “One last question: Led Zeppelin fans can dream of seeing a new band meeting in the future, such as the one held in Day of the celebrationIn England? “. He then replied:

“Well (sarcastically), I was able to see that your tone was going downhill at the end of this question. And this is the answer. Thanks (I hang the phone).”

Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant?

Without the availability of Robert Plant, the guitarist Jimmy Page and the bassist John Paul Jones The hands tied on various occasions have been seen. The two have always had more likely to collect the band, either for sporadic shows or even a tour.

Once, in 2008, shortly after the 2007 meeting of Led Zeppelin At Arena O2, Page even tested some singers and discussed the possibility of continuing to play live with John Paul Jones and the drummer Jason Bonhamson of John Bonham.

At the time, names like Steven Tylerfrom AerosmithAND Myles Kennedyfrom Alter BridgeThey were in auditions with the guitarist. Tyler spoke about it in an interview with Classic rock:

“I went there and I played with Jimmy and the rest of them (in the summer of 2008). It was not an audition to play in Zeppelin, it was a hearing to play with Zeppelin. We were about to play some stadiums. And then, while I was there, Jimmy told me to record an album. I iconic band and I. I too. I can’t, in good faith, to leave my band and stay in your band.

Other news of the time, however, were more cautious, saying that Page was not excited to have Steven Tyler who sang the songs of the LED. The fact is that the idea of keeping the band on his debut has never left the newspaper. The 2007 appearance was the last act of the remaining members together – and therefore it should continue, at least when it depends on Robert Plant.
