Robert Plant Didn’t Let His Wheelchair Stop Him
Tragically, Robert Plant got injured in a terrible car crash in Greece just before they were to record an album in Munich, Germany. Jimmy Page told The Guardian, “Robert was really keen to do the recording, and we all were because there wasn’t anything else that we could do.” Robert Plant remembered trying to navigate in crutches but falling in the studio and Page running from the control room to get him. He claimed, “He was like an Olympic athlete! I’d never seen him move so fast in my life!” So, Plant recorded the 1976 album while in a wheelchair and in awful pain. They ended up recording the album Presence in only 18 days.
