He’s the frontman for one of the most iconic bands in rock ‘n’ roll history and he just made a promise to share every piece of music he’s recorded throughout his storied career. There’s one caveat though. He has to die first.

Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant may have raised some eyebrows on the latest episode of his Digging Deep podcast when he discussed what kept him busy during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Plant said he “itemized” his archives while in quarantine and gave listeners a sneak peek into the wide-array of material that’s in there. Part of the process included the singer purchasing “a really good cassette player” that allowed him to “renovate everything.”

“So if you ever wanna hear Robert Plant singing with Buggles – yeah!" he said. "It’s Bruce Woolley and Robert singing something about the city, which ended up with Grace Jones.”

There’s a plethora of material that Plant had at his disposal. This is partly due to his admission that he was “whoring like crazy” in the early 1980s and would “go and write with anybody at that time.”

Plant says his archives feature “all the adventures I’ve ever had with music, tours, album releases, projects that didn’t actually get finished.”

There’s one condition that has to be met before this material gets released. Plant needs to pass away.

“I told the kids that when I kick the bucket, open it to the public – free of charge,” he said. “Just to see how many silly things there were down the line from 1966 to now: the journey.”
