About this listen
Robert Plant has been unmistakably busy and deeply visible in recent days. Just this week, the world watched as he joined Jimmy Page online to pay tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy’s passing at 76 prompted Plant to write, Farewell Ozzy what a journey sail on up there finally at peace you truly changed the planet of rock as reported by LedZepNews. These words not only made international headlines but also reminded fans of the longstanding camaraderie between Plant and Osbourne, forged on the Birmingham scene before Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath were even household names. This public farewell was swiftly followed by Page’s own message, further underlining the bands’ historic bond and Plant’s role as a statesman of rock.
As the rock community reminisced, Plant was already enmeshed in major projects. Led Zeppelin officially announced a new four-track Live EP to mark the 50th anniversary of Physical Graffiti, a headline event in the classic rock world, according to Consequence and Rhino Records. While Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones front most of the archival interviews and features, Plant’s influence echoes over the reissue, with his performances from Earls Court 1975 and Knebworth 1979 featured on the new EP. The band is clearly leveraging nostalgia, but Plant’s ongoing relevance emboldens these releases—they are not mere museum pieces but a reminder of his living legacy.
Meanwhile, Plant remains on the road and in the studio with his band Saving Grace, fronted with Suzi Dian. Nonesuch Records and Americana UK highlighted that Saving Grace is not only set to release its highly anticipated self-titled debut album on September 26 but is also mid-tour across Europe, with stops including Granada, Spain this weekend as detailed by JamBase and official Nonesuch announcements. The first single, a reimagined version of Low’s Everybody’s Song, is already generating buzz—pushing Plant into the alt-folk spotlight and introducing a new chapter for his expansive career.
Rumors and speculation that Plant could reunite with surviving Led Zeppelin members at one of the upcoming deluxe reissue events remain just that—no confirmations have emerged from any credible outlet. Social media chatter continues to go wild over Plant’s Granada appearance; early fan-shot video from his recent show in Salon de Provence is making the rounds on YouTube, spotlighting both his enduring vocal prowess and his dynamic collaboration with Suzi Dian.
What’s clear is that Plant’s every move—whether in tribute, on tour, or on vinyl—is still biographically significant. He remains both rock immortal and restless seeker, ensuring the next headline is never far behind.
