Lenny Kravitz has rock veteran Robert Plant to thank for helping him rediscover his love for performing live because the Led Zeppelin legend once scolded him for taking concerts too seriously.

The Fly Away hitmaker admits he used to pick apart every one of his shows early on in his career in an effort to improve his live sets, but his constant struggle for perfection meant he never really enjoyed playing in front of his fans because he could always spot something that could have been done better.

It wasn't until Plant joined him on tour in the early 1990s that the British icon confronted ...

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton tried to get Led Zeppelin to reunite for the first time since 2007 for last year's Hurricane Sandy benefit in New York City.

Clinton tried to convince Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones while they were in Washington D.C. last December for the Kennedy Center Honors.

Davide Saltzman, director of the Robin Hood foundation, which organized the 12-12-12 concert at Madison Square Garden, told news show "60 Minutes" Sunday night that he and movie producer Harvey Weinstein put Clinton up to the task.

"There were two bands that we were trying desperate...

Robert Plant has sparked new hopes that a Led Zeppelin reunion is possible next year, by saying he has "nothing to do in 2014".

The lead singer for the greatest rock band in history (somewhat arguably) recently did an interview for Australian news program 60 Minutes, hinting that he's open to hitting the road with surviving bandmates Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones.

Zeppelin regrouped for a one-off concert in 2007 -- a tribute to music producer Ahmet Ertegun held at London's O2 Arena, and perhaps the hottest concert ticked ever.

The band released the show on Blu-ray and DVD last fall, onc...

Robert Plant was knocked to the ground during a concert in Argentina last Thursday after a fan stormed the stage.

The Led Zeppelin star was performing with his band The Sensational Space Shifters in Buenos Aires when an overzealous concertgoer jumped over the security barricade as the group wrapped up its rendition of Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll.

A guard quickly rushed the fan, inadvertently pushing Plant over, but the shocked 64 year old was not hurt and in video footage of the incident, obtained by Spinner.com, the singer can be heard pleading with security to let the fan off lightly...

Rocker Jimmy Page has reiterated there are no plans for Led Zeppelin to reunite onstage even though the bandmates have come together to promote the concert movie release of their one-off concert five years ago.

Page and bandmates John Paul Jones and Robert Plant have been routinely asked about another reunion ever since the Ahmet Ertegun tribute show in London - and just when the fuss was dying down, the trio announced plans to release the concert footage as new movie "Celebration Day."

Reteaming for a press conference in London last month, the bandmates seemed a little irked that the reu...

On December 10, 2007, Led Zeppelin took the stage at London's O2 Arena to headline a tribute concert for dear friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. What followed was a two-hour-plus tour de force of the band's signature blues-infused rock 'n' roll that instantly became part of the legend of Led Zeppelin. Founding members John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were joined by Jason Bonham, the son of their late drummer John Bonham, to perform 16 songs from their celebrated catalog including landmark tracks "Whole Lotta Love," "Rock And Roll," "Kashmir," and "Stairway To Hea...

Legendary rocker Robert Plant has finally confirmed rumors he is married to singer Patty Griffin, revealing they "eloped" in Texas last year.

The Led Zeppelin singer remained quiet about reports suggesting he exchanged vows with his Band of Joy backing vocalist last autumn after photos of the couple wearing what appeared to be wedding rings surfaced online in November.

The 63 year old's publicist claimed to know nothing about the nuptials, but Plant has now set the record straight in an interview with Britain's The Independent newspaper. He tells the publication, "I eloped and ran off t...

Robert Plant is to unveil his latest project, the Sensational Space Shifters, to mark the 30th anniversary of Britain's Womad festival in July.

The former Led Zeppelin rocker has teamed up with members of his ex-backing band Strange Sensation and pal Justin Adams to form the new group, and boasts the eclectic line-up is influenced by "the roots music of Mississippi, Appalachia, Gambia, (and) Bristol."

Plant's new band will debut live at Womad, which takes place in the west of England over the weekend of July 27th-29th.

Veteran rocker Robert Plant has fueled reports suggesting he has secretly married his girlfriend Patty Griffin by wearing a new ring on his wedding finger.

The Led Zeppelin singer's publicists insist they know nothing of any nuptials, but stories about a top secret ceremony have started circulating online.

Plant , 62, has allegedly been dating the Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, 47, for several months, and the latest reports suggest the pair recently wed in Texas.

They have both been photographed wearing wedding rings, according to UltimateClassicRock.com and fansite RambleOnRadi...

Tennessee's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival has been marred by the death of a female concertgoer, who was found dead outside her tent on Thursday.

The 32-year-old woman's body was discovered on the grounds in Manchester on the first night of the annual four-day event. Her name has been withheld until her family is notified.

Officials say her death may have been caused by heat, drugs or a combination of both factors.

Steven Tyler has challenged reports Led Zeppelin rejected the idea of having him as Robert Plant's replacement, insisting he snubbed the opportunity because he was determined to remain loyal to Aerosmith.

The I Don't Want to Miss A Thing hit-maker secretly auditioned for the super-group in late 2009, although his Aerosmith pal Joe Perry later claimed Jimmy Page had described the rehearsals as "shambolic" because Tyler was not familiar with Led Zeppelin's catalogue.

Perry said, "Page felt really awkward about the audition, but ultimately it was a group decision (to pass on Tyler)."

Gene Simmons wants Simon Cowell's job - he's convinced he would make a better judge on the TV mogul's reality singing contests because he has real experience in the music industry.

The Kiss rocker has joined a string of stars, including Elton John and The Who's Roger Daltrey, who have taken aim at Cowell and his hit TV competitions. Simmons insists he is "more qualified than anybody" to dole out advice on the programs, which he claims will never discover any new music legends like Jimi Hendrix or Robert Plant.

He tells Britain's Daily Star, "I think I could be the sole judge on The X Fa...

Music mogul Harvey Goldsmith almost missed out on the one-off Led Zeppelin reunion he helped stage in 2007 - because his father-in-law died as the supergroup were about to take the stage.

The British promoter put the Ahmet Ertegun tribute show together in London after meeting with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page at the label boss and producer's memorial.

Goldsmith introduced the show at the O2 Arena and then heard his wife Diana's father had died as he left the stage.

He tells CelebrityAccess.com, "It was very difficult. Very difficult. It was quite odd really. I went onstage and introduced ...

The members of Led Zeppelin have turned down another lucrative offer to reform, turning down the chance to headline Britain's Download Festival in June.

Promoter Andy Copping has revealed he approached Jimmy Page and Robert Plant and asked them to consider a get together for his event at Donington Park.

Lost audio of a Led Zeppelin swimming pool concert has been found at a car boot sale (British flea market) in Ipswich, England.

The rare live recording from the rock band's 1971 show at St. Matthews Baths Hall was unearthed by a collector who was rummaging through CDs at the sale of second hand and bargain items.

Led Zeppelin fans' dreams of seeing the rock supergroup back onstage together have been given a boost by confirmation frontman Robert Plant is considering a slot at next year's Glastonbury festival in England.

The group sparked reports of a reunion tour after Plant and bandmates Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones reteamed for a benefit concert in London in December, 2007, but the singer has since rejected all offers to hit the road with his old pals.

Last year, the rocker continually dismissed reports he'd be rejoining the band for a full reunion, prompting Page and Jones to consider tour...

Now it's time to get serious. We are in the final four of American Idol, meaning it is time to do away with the sophomoric ramblings as we wait for the show to begin. Instead, we get our game faces on along with the contestants and attempt to avoid falling bits of the set.

Last night's theme was classic rock, a tremendous departure for a show that's always turned up its nose at the harder-edged stuff. Because big band is apparently more relevant. It was also a big change for the mentor segments. Tutor Slash took the Idols into the Roxy with a full band backing their practice...

Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum has blasted Axl Rose for touring under the name Guns N' Roses, insisting he should follow Sting and Paul McCartney's leads and rename the group or go solo.

A former Guns N' Roses drummer, Sorum feels the rock group's name should only feature on tour tickets and albums when Rose is surrounded by his original members, including his Velvet Revolver bandmates Duff McKagan and Slash.

He tells ThePulseofRadio.com, "I'm not saying I'm an original member, but I understand the core of the band is Slash and Duff and probably Izzy (Stradlin). This goes back...

Former Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts has blasted the band's drummer Butch Trucks - accusing him of fabricating a clash between late rock legend Duane Allman and Robert Plant.

In a recent interview with Relix magazine, Trucks recalled Allman's alleged fury over seeing Led Zeppelin rocker Plant prancing around on stage in velvet trousers during a concert in 1969. He claimed his former bandmate had to be held back from attacking Plant after the stage antics, and had lost all respect for his idol.
