Robert Plant has been making waves this October with candid revelations about his latest album Saving Grace, which dropped in September after a six-year hiatus from recording. The seventy-seven-year-old Led Zeppelin frontman opened up on the Rockonteurs podcast earlier this month, admitting he nearly walked away from making albums altogether. Plant told the podcast that this day was never going to come because originally it was not going to come, declaring no more records, that's it. He explained he never thought recording again was a starter in his being and simply did not want to make more albums, saying it was not the end but rather that's enough.

The change of heart came through his collaboration with the band Saving Grace, featuring vocalist Suzi Dian alongside Matt Worley, Tony Kelsey, Oli Jefferson, and Barney Morse Brown. Recording began in 2019 and continued through the pandemic lockdowns until the project finally clicked together. Plant described the studio work as such a release and such an escape, marking a dramatic shift from his previous mindset of preferring to play willy-nilly anywhere he wanted. Far Out Magazine gave the album four stars, comparing his approach to Neil Young's style.

On the touring front, Plant is gearing up for an extensive run of shows. His UK winter tour kicks off December eighth in Portsmouth, hitting major venues including London's Royal Festival Hall before wrapping up December twenty-third in York. The ten-show series will visit Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Middlesbrough, and Newcastle. Meanwhile, his North American dates are already underway, with an upcoming performance at the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling, West Virginia on October thirtieth at seven-thirty PM, followed by shows in Chicago on November twelfth and at Harrah's Resort SoCal near San Diego on November twenty-third. These intimate venue selections align with Plant's stated preference for smaller shows over massive productions, representing his return to roots music and the contemporary popular music canon he's passionate about exploring.
