Led Zeppelin News is reporting that Robert Plant attended the UK Americana Awards in London on January 26 and gave a speech while accepting the award for "International Album Of The Year".
Plant’s latest album with Alison Krauss, Raise The Roof, won the award and Plant attended the ceremony at Hackney Empire to accept it.
“It’s quite remarkable really because it’s 14 years since our last confession, so we had no real idea whether or not we could still cook it,” Plant said on stage. “What we experienced was an adventure into some of the most beautiful songs that we could imagine.”
