Biography

Born on August 20, 1948 in West Bromwich, England, Robert Plant got his start at the height of the British blues revival, the British blues boom, with the band Band of Joy, before achieving worldwide success with Led Zeppelin. When the band split up in 1980, following the death of drummer John Bonham, he embarked on a solo career, giving free rein to his passion for blues and rock'n'roll, before taking a new direction towards world music. He reunited with Jimmy Page to form the short-lived band The Honeydrippers (1981-1985), then ten years later on the duo album No Quarter (#4 in the U.S.), followed by Walking into Clarksdale (#3 in the U.K. in 1998). This was followed by Dreamland (UK No. 20, 2002), Mighty Rearranger (No. 4, 2005) and Raising Sand (No. 2, 2007), recorded with country singer Alison Krauss. After Led Zeppelin's brief stage reunion, he returned to his teenage years with Band of Joy (No. 3, 2010). With his new band, The Sensational Space Shifters, he records Lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar (UK #2 in 2014). Three years later comes Carry Fire (No. 3), with the same band and violinist Seth Lakeman. In 2020, to coincide with the third season of his podcast Digging Deep with Robert Plant, a retrospective boxed set is released that takes the name of his show, Digging Deep: Subterranea, featuring thirty tracks recorded solo. He teams up again with Alison Krauss in 2021 for the duo album Raise the Roof (#7 in the U.S. and #5 in the U.K.). In 2019, the singer joined forces with the musicians of the acoustic group Saving Grace, which gave its name to his twelfth solo album, released in September 2025 on the Nonesuch label.
