Robert Plant Website Tease Campaign Continues

The mysterious post that first appeared April 29 on Robert Plant’s website

Last spring (April 29), fans visiting Robert Plant’s website were confronted with an all-black page showing three words in white, placed in the center: Any time now…

Clicking on the words—or anywhere on the page—revealed … nothing. There is no longer any front door entrance to Plant’s site (though we did find our way in). Over the next few days, classic rock fans began speculating what the singer was planning. Was it an album and tour? Or even… (dramatic pause)… a Led Zeppelin reunion.

We’ll admit, we even joined in the fun when we wrote:

“While there are plenty of other major rock acts that could draw many thousands of fans to the desert, none would come even close to generating the kind of buzz that a genuine Zeppelin reunion—with Jason Bonham replacing his late father on drums—would. The band reportedly turned down a massive offer to reunite for the October 2016 Desert Trip, but now, perhaps, they have finally agreed that it’s time.”

On May 14, Plant, along with former AC/DC singer Brian Johnson, appeared as guest singers at a Paul Rodgers concert in Oxford, England.

For two months, there was no change to Plant’s website (and, interestingly, his Facebook page didn’t feature the “Any time now” graphic). That changed on July 5, when there was finally an update to Plant’s website and Facebook and Twitter pages, when visitors were met with “A Way with Words…”

Since then… nothing. Plant is known to be working on a new album, and “Any time now…” and “A Way with Words” could simply be a reference to the fact that he’s about to break the news that it’s been completed.

Plant’s last known record label, Nonesuch, hasn’t updated his listing.

We’ll continue to keep you posted!
