Robert Plant is one of the few genuine living rock legends. Frontman of Led
Zeppelin, musical innovator and seller of millions of records, Plant has had a
profound influence on music for over four decades. But the full account of his
life has barely been told ? until now. Robert Plant: A Life is the first
complete and comprehensive telling of Plant's story. From his earliest
performances in folk clubs in the early 1960s, to the world's biggest stages as
Led Zeppelin's self-styled 'Golden God', and on to his emergence as an
emboldened solo star. The sheer scale of Zeppelin's success is extraordinary: in
the US alone they sold 70 million records, a figure surpassed only by the
Beatles. But their success was marred by tragedy. These pages contain first-hand
accounts of Plant's greatest highs and deepest lows: the tragic deaths of his
son Karac and his friend, Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. Told in vivid detail,
this is the definitive story of a man of great talent, remarkable fortitude and
extraordinary conviction.
