Former Led Zeppelin vocalist spoke about his experience in China
During a recent appearance on the American TV show The Late Late Show with James Corden , the legendary Robert Plant recounted an experience he had at a karaoke bar in China. Twenty-two years ago, he lost a battle to an Elvis Presley impersonator from Taiwan.
And despite being considered one of the greatest singers in rock history, Plant joked that he still feels frustrated for having failed in this musical challenge. “The competition was fierce ,” he said. “But the Chinese were rooting for the guy from Taiwan, even though I was doing very, very well.” Watch a recording of the moment below.
In the program, the former Led Zeppelin vocalist also presented a new and meditative version of “New World”. The track appears on Plant's 11th solo album, Carry Fire (2017), which also features the singles “The May Queen”, “Bones of Saints” and “Bluebirds Over the Mountain”. You can watch the video here .
In January , he released a video of a performance of "Season's Song," a track that is also part of the album released last October. A month after the release, Plant performed the song at the O2 Manchester Apollo concert hall in England. The video was part of a jukebox campaign on his official website, where fans can watch performances of songs from his new album.
