Breaking news: An open letter Robert Plant to Angus Young and entire Rock band fans which will leave you speechless…,
As I sit down to pen this letter, the flood of memories from a lifetime in rock ‘n’ roll has overwhelmed me. I have seen the world change in ways we could never have imagined when we first strapped on our guitars and took to the stage. And as I write this, I can’t help but think about the music that shaped us, the stories that bind us, and the fans who continue to keep the flame of rock burning bright.
Angus, you and I have shared something rare. Our paths have crossed countless times over the years, and while we come from different corners of the musical universe, I can’t help but admire what you’ve done with AC/DC. You, my friend, are the embodiment of raw, untamed energy, and your commitment to rock ‘n’ roll is something I’ve always respected deeply.
As I reflect on our time together—whether on stage, at the side of the road after a show, or simply in the studio crafting sounds that would outlive us—I’m struck by one undeniable truth: we were all part of something bigger. It was more than just music. It was an ethos, a movement, a shared belief that the power of rock could touch lives in ways no other genre could. And we were just the conduits.
I want to take this moment to address the fans. To every person who has stood in the crowd, sung their heart out, or found solace in the sound of an electric guitar ripping through the air, you have always been our lifeblood. Without you, the stage is just an empty platform. You fill it with your spirit, your passion, and your unwavering devotion to the music that has defined generations. The joy I’ve felt in knowing that we’ve made a difference in your lives is immeasurable. It is because of you that we keep coming back, show after show, album after album.
Rock music, at its core, is about rebellion, about freedom, and about expressing the truths that society sometimes forgets to hear. And in every chord, every scream, every beat, we’ve strived to say something that resonates beyond the walls of a venue or the lines of a track. When I sing, it’s not just for the applause; it’s to connect with something larger than myself. It’s to speak to those who understand what it means to be lost, to be found, and to break free. And I know that’s the same for you, Angus. Your riffs don’t just burn—they ignite something primal in people.
Our journey as musicians is not one that’s measured by record sales or radio airplay. It’s measured by the connection we make with the souls in the crowd, the way we pull people from their everyday lives and into the realm of possibility. That’s the power of rock. It transcends generations. It knows no boundaries.
So, to you, Angus Young, and to every fan who’s ever raised their voice in a moment of shared glory, I say this: Thank you. Thank you for keeping the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll alive and thriving. As long as there are those who seek out the thrill of live music, the fire will never die. And in the words of the mighty Led Zeppelin, we’ll keep on rockin’ ’til the break of dawn.
With respect and gratitude, Robert Plant
