Robert Plant Turns 60

Robert Plant had his 60th birthday on Wednesday, August 20th. Plant, who famously reunited with his surviving Led Zeppelin bandmates for a one-off reunion for charity at London’s O2 Arena last December, will resume his Raising Sand tour with Alison Krauss next month. It seems less and less likely that Led Zeppelin will be playing any more shows together in the near future, if ever.

In any event, Powerline A.D. wishes a happy 60th to Mr. Plant.

Here are a few videos from different parts of Plant’s career:
