About this listen
Robert Plant has made headlines over the past few days with both artistic and personal moments that echo far beyond the world of classic rock. Most notably, Plant’s first new recorded music in several years has just surfaced, with his guest appearance on Paul Weller’s new track Clive’s Song. According to Parade and confirmed by Clash Music, this soulful, acoustic blues number dropped July 3 and marks Plant’s first studio collaboration since his celebrated duo work with Alison Krauss back in 2021. The song is part of Weller’s album Find El Dorado, due July 25, and Plant’s involvement taps into his deep affinity for British folk—joining Weller on a track originally written by Clive Palmer of the Incredible String Band, a group Plant has frequently cited as an early influence.
Live performance news is also in the air. Plant resumes his European tour with his current outfit, Saving Grace with Suzi Dian, including notable upcoming shows across France, Italy, and Spain. The buzz around these concerts has been building, especially for the date at Palacio De Congresos De Granada on July 26 and a hotly anticipated Italian performance in Lucca on July 13, as promoted by both his official Instagram and the Led Zeppelin forum. Plant’s performances continue to attract multigenerational fans eager for both nostalgia and his newer folk-blues explorations.
On a somber note, Plant made a rare public statement unrelated to music. Louder Sound reports that he paid tribute to Diogo Jota, the Liverpool footballer and former Wolverhampton Wanderers star, who tragically died in a car accident on July 3. Plant, a lifelong Wolves supporter and club Vice President, posted his heartfelt condolences online, mourning Jota as a bright light dimmed too soon.
The press has also revisited a long-shrouded chapter of Plant’s past. Philly Mag this week revisited the infamous Led Zeppelin reunion at Live Aid forty years ago, a performance so troubled that Plant reportedly blocked it from official video releases—a reminder of his enduring influence on what the world remembers, or forgets, about rock legends.
Meanwhile, buzz continues about Plant’s surprise show in New Orleans this past April, as seen in fresh social media clips, underscoring his enduring spontaneity and love for unexpected musical moments.
Taken together, these days have been a vivid patchwork for Robert Plant: a new musical chapter, public mourning, live energy, and a media swirl that shows the legendary singer never strays far from the cultural spotlight.
