Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin has enjoyed an immensely successful career as a solo artist. One that’s lasted more than three times as long as that of his former band, Led Zeppelin. He has aggressively pursued his ever-wandering muse across the globe, and enjoyed fruitful recording collaborations with the disparate likes of Alison Krauss (their 2007 album Raising Sand won a Grammy for Album of the Year), Nigel Kennedy, Phil Collins, Patty Griffin, Afro Celt Sound System and (of course) former Led Zep cohort Jimmy Page. The frontman on writing about his relationships with his former bandmates and returning to the U.K.
