Robert Plant Performs 'Stairway to Heaven' Live after 16 Years for Cancer Benefit Concert

Despite Previous Vow Never to Sing Iconic Song Again, Ex-Led Zeppelin Frontman Breaks Long Hiatus for Charity Show Organized by Duran Duran's Andy Taylor, who Battles Stage 4 Prostate Cancer

Robert Plant, the ex-frontman of Led Zeppelin, broke a 16-year hiatus by performing the song 'Stairway to Heaven' at a charity concert organised by Duran Duran’s Andy Taylor, who is fighting stage 4 prostate cancer.
The concert was aimed at raising funds for the Cancer Platform and also featured appearances by Pink Floyd’s Guy Pratt and Wham!’s Andrew Ridgeley. Plant wasn't officially on the bill, but made a surprise appearance.
Along with 'Stairway to Heaven', Plant also performed other Led Zeppelin songs such as 'Thank You' and 'Black Dog'. He also sang a medley featuring Donovan’s 'Season of the Witch' and the Buffalo Springfield’s 'For What It’s Worth'.
Despite pledging in the past to never sing 'Stairway to Heaven' again, Plant delivered a moving rendition of the song at the benefit concert, indicating a change of heart about the song.
Robert Plant has revealed plans to tour in 2024, but the specifics regarding dates and locations have yet to be announced.
