Robert Plant & Alison Krauss have been added to be the list of performers at the 51st annual Grammy Awards which will be held February 8 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The event is being screened at 9pm on ITV2 in the UK on February 9th.
In an interview with Ben Jones on Absolute Radio Robert reveled his thoughts on a Led Zeppelin reunion.

Robert said, “The reason that it stopped was because we were incomplete, and we’ve been incomplete now for 28 years. And no matter what you do, you have to really guard the discretion of what you’ve done in the past and make sure that you have all the reasons in the right place to be able to do something with absolute, total conviction.”
He continued: “To visit old ground, it’s a very incredibly delicate thing to do, and the disappointment that could be there once you commit to that and the comparisons to something that was basically fired by youth and a different kind of exuberance to now… it’s very hard to go back and meet that head on and do it justice.”
