Synopsis

Robert Plant by Paul Rees is the definitive biography of Led Zeppelin's legendary frontman. As lead singer for one of the biggest and most influential rock bands of all time—whose song "Stairway to Heaven" has been played more times on American radio than any other track—Robert Plant defined what it means to be a rock god.

Over the course of his twenty-year career, British music journalist and editor Paul Rees has interviewed such greats as Sir Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Bono, and AC/DC. Rees now offers a full portrait of Robert Plant for the first time, exploring the forces that shaped him, the ravaging highs and lows of the Zeppelin years—including his relationship with Jimmy Page and John Bonham—and his life as a solo artist today.

Robert Plant: A Life is the never-before-told story of a gifted, complicated music icon who changed the face of rock 'n' roll.

Goodreads review by Randee on July 06, 2015

As big a fan as I am of Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin, I knew very little about Robert Plant, the person. I've always liked his singing, enough to buy some of his non-Zeppelin catalog. I feel this book was a good start on getting to know about him; start, being the keyword. The book is not heavy or in......more
