Robert Plant feels disconnected from heavy rock

Former Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant has said that he feels disconnected from heavy rock after a Them Crooked Vultures show.

Speaking to The Independent, Plant said his ears “bled for two days” after watching his former bandmate John Paul Jones’ new band Them Crooked Vultures at the Royal Albert Hall.

“I feel so far away from heavy rock now,” he explained. “It's quite odd, how mine and John's paths seem to have crossed over – we've sort of gone into each others' worlds a bit."

Plant achieved critical acclaim and won the Album of the Year Grammy for his 2007 album ‘Raising Sand’ with country singer Alison Krauss. Plant turned down offers of reuniting Led Zeppelin for a full tour, preferring instead to tour in support of this album.

His next album ‘Band Of Joy’ will be in Australian stores on September 10.
