About this listen
Robert Plant has been a busy and headline-grabbing figure over the past week, blending fresh creativity with legendary nostalgia. Without contest, the most significant long-term development is the just-announced release of Saving Grace, his first album with a new handpicked band of distinguished players. The album, described by Plant as a song book of the lost and found, is set to arrive on September 26, 2025, via Nonesuch Records. Plant characterizes Saving Grace as a joyful, stylistically wide-ranging collective that emerged out of the lockdown era, featuring vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown. He has spoken enthusiastically about the genuine camaraderie and the creative spark within the group, emphasizing the fun and musical freedom they experience—a tone echoed by fans and music journalists. Advance buzz grew this week with the release of their reimagined cover of Low’s “Everybody’s Song,” signaling a new chapter for Plant that could expand his musical legacy well beyond his Zeppelin roots, according to XS Noize.
On the live front, Plant stoked Led Zeppelin nostalgia with a performance of “Celebration Day,” which trended widely online on August 2—clips circulated rapidly, spurring renewed fan fervor and social media discussion across Instagram and YouTube. Kate Hajna tagged @robertplantofficial on a widely liked Instagram post featuring Plant, further boosting his profile.
Adding another layer of intrigue, a vintage 1922 Gibson L1 acoustic guitar played by both Plant and Jimmy Page was reported up for auction this week by LedZepNews, sparking considerable conversation among collectors and die-hard fans who see such memorabilia as key pieces of rock history.
Meanwhile, old stories resurfaced, proving Plant’s impact on fellow artists endures. Parade resurfaced Lenny Kravitz’s story of Plant bluntly scolding him backstage for diva behavior—an encounter Kravitz calls career-changing advice, highlighting Plant’s reputation for authenticity.
Legal issues also made minor headlines, as MyNewsLA reported the resolution of the long-running “Dazed and Confused” lawsuit in which Plant had been a co-defendant. Though not explosive, its closure subtly cleans up the lingering legal footnotes in his biography.
All these threads—new music, vintage artifacts, sincere advice, performance clips, and legal housekeeping—reinforce that Robert Plant is not merely living in the glow of his legend but actively shaping his legacy in ways both fresh and historically resonant.
