In October,\u00a0Robert Plant<\/strong>\u00a0performed the\u00a0Led Zeppelin\u00a0<\/strong>classic\u00a0\u201cStairway to Heaven\u201d for the first time in 16 years at a charity event in Oxfordshire, England, and it\u00a0sounds like it was quite an experience for the rocker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was cathartic,\u201d Plant\u00a0tells\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>\u00a0of the performance.\u00a0\u201cPeople go, ‘Oh, that\u2019s good. He never was going to do that.’ But I didn\u2019t really do it! I just blurted it out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Explaining\u00a0that\u00a0the song was an important one\u00a0for him during\u00a0the time in his life with his Led Zeppelin bandmates\u00a0Jimmy Page<\/strong>,\u00a0John Paul Jones<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0John Bonham<\/strong>,\u00a0Plant adds, \u201cSo on that night, it was what it was. It was a trial by fire, but I felt better at the end than at the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, fans may never see him perform the tune again. When asked if he thinks it will be his last performance of the song, Plant replied, \u201cYeah, I think you\u2019re probably right.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWho knows? Something could change somewhere,\u201d he says. \u201cSpirit and heart could come back in the soul.”\u00a0But he notes, “It\u2019s a long song. Who can remember all those words?\u201d<\/p>\n
