Perhaps the region’s best-loved star is Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant, who is still a West Midlands resident and an active supporter of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC. Plant was born in West Bromwich but raised in Halesowen. He impressed Jimmy Page in 1968 with his powerful voice and the duo teamed up with drummer John Bonham and bass player John Paul Jones to form one of the biggest selling rock bands in the world, performing iconic hits such as Stairway to Heaven. More recently, Plant released a duet album last year with bluegrass singer Alison Krauss, which won critical acclaim.
