Robert Plant

Singer Robert Plant just turned 62 years of age
this past August and today announced plans to
tour America in support of his latest album. Plant
was the lead singer for the group 'Led Zeppelin'
when they formed in 1968. While Plant was the
front-man for the group, he was backed up by
guitar virtuoso Jimmy Page on lead, John Paul Jones
on bass guitar and keyboards, and John Bonham
on drums. The group was such a collection of high
spirited talent that when they first formed up Keith
Richards of the Rolling Stones said they wouldn't
last long and would go over like a 'lead balloon.'
Plant and Page heard of the comment and named
their new group Led Zeppelin in response. When
Bonham died in 1980 the group went their separate
ways after selling over 111 million albums in the
United States and over 200 million worldwide. Plant's
new album is called Band of Joy and should be
released this Fall. I have included a couple of photos
of Plant. One when he was younger and then a
recent photo to show you the effects of forty years
of drugs and alcohol. Guess which is which !!
