Robert Plant May Be Singing His Swan Song

Robert Plant has hinted that the upcoming "lullaby and.... The Ceaseless Roar" album might well be his last.

As reported by antimusic.com:

Plant surprised The Independent's James McNair when he made the following proclamation at the end of their conversation, "And maybe this new album is the end now for me."

Naturally, the interviewer asked this burning question:

"Really? The end of what?" and Plant responded, "Of this musical wanderlust and the wonderful carousel that I've been on.

"It's like a kaleidoscope: you hold it up to the light, rotate it, and the pieces fall beautifully in different ways, but this record feels different. It's a consummation of all those bits from Son House to Roni Size to the Gambia and it seems to have some sort of finality."

Plant will be taking to the road for a handful of dates to support the album, including a show in London and four North American dates (two in Brooklyn on September 27 and 28).
