Robert Plant has revealed why he declined an invite to Black Sabbath's farewell gig.
In a new interview with Mojo magazine, the former Led Zeppelin frontman says that he received an invitation to the Back To The Beginning show in Birmingham from his old friend Tony Iommi, Black Sabbath's guitarist, although Plant doesn't specify whether he was invited to perform, or merely to attend the spectacular star-studded event.
“I said, Tony, I’d love to come, but I can’t come,” Plant tells writer Keith Cameron. “I just can’t. I’m not saying that I’d rather hang out with Peter Gabriel or Youssou N’Dour, but I don’t know anything about what’s going on in that world now, at all. I don’t decry it, I’ve got nothing against it. It’s just I found these other places that are so rich."
