Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant announces NEW solo album Carry Fire and UK tour for Autumn 2017
LED ZEPPELIN frontman Robert Plant has announced his new solo album Carry Fire and UK tour dates.
Iggy Pop and Robert Plant share their first experiences of seeing The Who perform live
The 69-year-old rocker is back with his 11th solo album, the first since 2014’s Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar.
As with that record, Plant is accompanied by The Sensational Space Shifters.
On the new release, the former Led Zeppelin frontman said: “It’s about intention, I respect and relish my past works but each time I feel the lure and incentive to create new work. I must mix old with new. Consequently, the whole impetus of the band has moved on its axis somewhat, the new sound and different space giving way to exciting and dramatic landscapes of mood, melody and instrumentation”.
While Carry Fire will be available from October 13, Plant has also announced a UK tour for November and December during the following dates.
