Perhaps inspired by Dave Grohl’s own recent interpretation, Robert Plant dusted off Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” for the first time in in 16 years during a charity concert in the UK on Saturday night.
Plant’s performance came as part of “An Evening With Andy Taylor And Special Guests,” a charity concert organized by former Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor benefiting the Cancer Awareness Trust. (Taylor was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in 2018.)
The 75-year-old Led Zeppelin frontman sounded as spectacular as he ran through 1971 power ballad for the first time since the band’s one-off reunion concert in 2007. Watch the replay below.
Despite feeling like the old guy from the cover of Led Zeppelin IV, Plant is still going strong. He most recently toured with collaborator Alison Krauss in support of their 2022 album, Raise the Roof.
