Robert Plant claimed that one of his classic onstage poses came about because he was afraid of missing notes while singing.
The Led Zeppelin legend made the lighthearted comment in the latest episode of his Digging Deep podcast, which explores his 2005 song “All the King’s Horses.”
When host Matt Everitt introduced the topic of singers arching their backs to “open the chest up,” Plant said, “I often did it like that because I didn’t really know whether I could hit the right peckin’ note!” He added that his thinking was "I’ll go as far away from the microphone just in case it’s not very good! Because you don’t know sometimes."
