Robert Plant reveals why he would cut Led Zeppelin rehearsals short

Led Zeppelin member Robert Plant shared that he would fake illness to cut short rock band’s studio sessions so he could watch football. The Whole Lotta Love hitmaker is an ardent fan of Wolverhampton Wanderers and even at the height of the band’s fame, he would slip out of practice and immerse himself in the “euphoria and pain” of cheering on his club. Plant told Empire magazine: “I was always with it- the whole idea of coming to Molineux on a cloudy, misty Tuesday night, when the South Bank was just an absolute miasma or cigarette smoke with a fantastic atmosphere and chant. “It was such a far cry from what I’d been involved with on tour. I could get lost in the euphoria, the pain, or the bliss. On a Tuesday afternoon, I would be recording with Led Zeppelin and suddenly get a sore throat to be away for a night game.” (IANS)
