About this listen
Robert Plant has been making headlines again, showing once more that his legendary status is matched by a restless creative spirit and a deeply human touch. In one of the most talked-about developments, Plant has teamed up with Paul Weller for a new single, Clive’s Song, featured on Weller’s upcoming covers album Find El Dorado. This marks Plant’s first appearance on a new recording since his acclaimed 2021 collaboration with Alison Krauss. The track, released on July 3, finds Plant lending his unmistakable vocals and harmonica to a song rooted in the folk-blues tradition he loves. According to LouderSound and Parade Magazine, Plant needed little convincing to join Weller in the studio, charming everyone with stories of his early musical influences before delivering a performance that bridges generations of British rock and folk. The album, which also features contributions from Noel Gallagher and others, is set for release on July 25 and has already sparked eager anticipation in the music press and across social media.
Meanwhile, Plant is gearing up to resume his European tour with his band Saving Grace, alongside Suzi Dian. The next leg begins July 10 and includes a much-anticipated show in Italy’s Piazza Napoleone on July 13, part of a three-week sweep through France, Italy, and Spain. Fans and critics alike are watching closely, as Plant’s live performances continue to be celebrated for their energy and musical curiosity.
Plant’s presence has also been felt away from the stage. On July 3, he posted a heartfelt tribute on X (formerly Twitter) to Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota, who tragically died in a car accident at age 28. As Vice President of Wolverhampton Wanderers, Plant’s words carried particular weight: “What a tragic loss. The dimming of a bright, shining light. Thank you for your magic, Diogo.” The post was widely shared and picked up by sports and music outlets alike, reminding everyone of Plant’s genuine emotional connection to football and his community.
Financially, Plant remains in a league of his own, with Daily Dwell Life reporting his net worth at around $200 million as of 2025. Though there are no recent reports of new business ventures, his past investments and royalties ensure his continued prominence in both music and business circles.
A brief flare-up of nostalgia hit the news cycle as well, with multiple outlets revisiting the infamous Led Zeppelin Live Aid reunion, now forty years past. Philly Mag recounted the event’s challenges and Plant’s decision to block its release on the official Live Aid DVD, adding to his legend as a fiercely protective artist. Additionally, his famous refusal to party with Oasis after Zeppelin’s 2007 reunion made the rounds again, thanks to new comments published in Mojo. Despite old wounds, the mutual respect between Plant and Noel Gallagher endures, as both appear on Weller’s new record.
On social media, beyond his tribute to Jota, Plant’s July 4 post drew fan attention, with reflections on his Led Zeppelin days and their role in transforming the live music industry.
Overall, every recent story confirms Robert Plant’s status as a living legend who continues to inspire, create, and connect—onstage, in the studio, and far beyond.
