This biography delves into the life of Robert Plant, the legendary frontman of Led Zeppelin, who epitomizes the essence of a rock god. With a globally recognized voice, Plant led one of the most influential rock bands, achieving extraordinary success, including 70 million records sold in the U.S., second only to the Beatles. Their iconic song "Stairway to Heaven" remains a staple on American radio and is often hailed as one of the greatest rock songs ever. However, Plant's impact extends beyond his time with Led Zeppelin. Paul Rees, a former editor of Q and Kerrang! magazines and a long-time associate of Plant, offers a comprehensive view of his life. The narrative explores Plant's formative years in England's Black Country, the tumultuous highs and lows during the Zeppelin era, and his relationships with bandmates Jimmy Page and John Bonham. It also highlights his successful solo career, which continues to flourish at 62, showcasing some of his most acclaimed work. Rees crafts a rich and complex portrait of a man who transformed rock 'n' roll at just 19, telling the definitive story of this enigmatic musical icon with emotion and insight.
