Robert Plant. A Life. The Biography: Paul Rees

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.
