Robert Plant could have spent the rest of his life cashing in on Led Zeppelin, and instead he has spent it chasing whatever sound catches his ear. Born in West Bromwich in 1948, he left home as a teenager to sing in local blues bands, among them Band of Joy with drummer John Bonham, before Jimmy Page and manager Peter Grant brought him in on the band that became Led Zeppelin. He sang lead and wrote the lyrics for the whole of their run.
After the Zeppelin crash, he went solo fast, and Pictures at Eleven in 1982 and The Principle of Moments in 1983 both reached the top ten of the Billboard 200, with the misty, synth-kissed "Big Log" and the brooding "In The Mood" showing he wasn't interested in retreading old ground. The Honeydrippers, his rock and roll side project, scored a hit with "Sea of Love", and Now and Zen in 1988, home of "Tall Cool One", became his biggest-selling solo album.
Page and Plant won a Grammy for "Most High", and his team-up with Alison Krauss on Raising Sand won Album of the Year, with "Please Read the Letter" taking Record of the Year. He revived Band of Joy in 2010 and later formed the Sensational Space Shifters. Lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar arrived in 2014, with "Rainbow" wrapping his weathered voice in droning, hypnotic textures, and Carry Fire followed in 2017 with "Bones of Saints".
