THE FIRST & ONLY COMPLETE BIOGRAPHY ON ONE OF A GENUINE ROCK LEGEND – INCLUDING ALL HIS WORK POST-LED ZEPPELIN

Robert Plant is a genuine rock legend. Amazingly, thirty years on, his star continues to shine. The tale of Led Zeppelin is central to his life, but that ended at the close of the Seventies – and Plant has been recording new music almost constantly in the 25 years since. For the first time, his solo years – working with his former Led Zep cohort Jimmy Page, numerous guest appearances and his own material – are covered in depth in a biography. With Led Zeppelin he conquered the world, with a close and continuing partnership with Zeppelin six-stringer Jimmy Page he straddled the boundaries of rock, blues and metal; the likes of Dreamland, a relatively obscure batch of cover songs, pay homage to Plant’s earliest and ongoing influences and passions such as deep blues and classic R&B; the book also places Plant’s later work in the wider context of both Led Zep’s own legacy and the broader history of modern music.

This is the very first book to tell the complete story of a poor young kid from West Bromwich who belied his humble blues roots by becoming one of the most recognisable rock superstars. This book tells you how he got there and remains so today.
