Singer and writer Antonella Gambotto-Burke told LedZepNews that Plant recently spent a day at the Magic Garden Recording Studio in Wolverhampton, U.K., and during that time he worked on a new rendition of a Led Zeppelin song.
“While the project is currently top secret, it involves a Led Zeppelin song,” Gambotto-Burke told the website. “Spending time with Robert has been such a privilege.”
She also noted, “The thing that surprised me most was the intense magic he brings with him. It literally fills the room. Spiritually speaking, he’s a giant, and the music is, of course, untouchable. I’m still flying!”
