‘ ‘ . , A new teaser for the upcoming ‘Becoming Led Zeppelin’ documentary shows the band members looking back on their first-ever jam session. At Jimmy Page’s suggestion, the band started a jam on “Train Kept A-Rollin’,” which he had recorded with the Yardbirds in ’66. “The room just exploded,” John Paul Jones recalls. The foursome knew immediately that they were on the precipice of something special. Robert Plant called the experience “devastating because it seemed like that is what I had been waiting for.” ‘Becoming Led Zeppelin’ hits IMAX theaters on Feb. 7, followed by regular theaters on Feb. 14

Over the years, Robert Plant’s relationship with fans has gone beyond typical rockstar adoration—he’s been known to engage sincerely with his audience, often staying after shows to chat, sign autographs, or share a laugh. During Led Zeppelin’s peak, stories of Plant being approached by fans in hotels, airports, and backstage were common, and while he was occasionally romantically involved with some admirers, he also formed meaningful, respectful connections with many. In later years, Plant has become even more reflective, showing appreciation for the long-time fans who’ve followed his evolving musical journey. He’s often expressed that the real reward of his career has been the emotional bond forged with audiences across generations, treating fans not just as spectators but as part of a shared musical experience.

One morning in 1964, Paul McCartney awoke in the small attic bedroom of his girlfriend Jane Asher’s house at 57 Wimpole Street in London. A melody had come to him in his sleep, so complete, so moving, so natural that he was convinced it had to belong to someone else. He darted to the piano at the foot of his bed and began playing the tune before it could fade. To make sense of its structure, he filled in placeholder lyrics that began with the line, “Scrambled eggs, oh my baby how I love your legs.” He spent weeks asking everyone around him, bandmates, friends, and industry insiders, if they had heard the melody before. George Martin, The Beatles’ producer, shook his head. None of the musicians or engineers at Abbey Road recognized it. Even Ringo Starr and George Harrison hadn’t heard it before. Still, Paul hesitated. “I thought someone must’ve written it already,” he recalled. “I had to make sure it hadn’t come from somewhere else.” It felt too perfect to be entirely his. During these uncertain weeks, McCartney carried the tune with him everywhere. He would test it out on friends, cautiously humming the melody and asking, “Does this ring any bells?” No one could name it. There was no trace of it in any existing catalog. Gradually, he came to accept that it had come from his own subconscious, a fully formed gift that arrived in sleep. As The Beatles began work on the album “Help!” in 1965, Paul began refining the lyrics. The humorous “Scrambled Eggs” lines gave way to something more poignant. The opening verse eventually settled on “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,” and the song took on a tone of heartbreak and loss. Unlike most Beatles songs that featured harmonies or full band arrangements, “Yesterday” was stripped down to Paul’s voice, an acoustic guitar, and a string quartet. It marked a distinct stylistic turn.

Brian Clarke was a dear friend of our family whom we had known for years. Sadly, he passed away recently but we all have lovely memories of the times we had together. We always laughed. Brian often had some great artistic endeavours to show or talk to us about. He made some stained glass windows for us and did a great collaboration with Linda using her photographs to make stained glass pictures out of. He was commissioned to make stained glass for Bahrain Airport (Concordia), Stansted Airport (a collaboration with Sir Norman Foster), and Queen Victoria Street Arcade in Leeds, and these are just some of the works he was famous for. Ever since I met him in the 70s with Robert Fraser the art dealer, we always had the best times together. We will all miss him but have fond memories of him to cherish and his incredible artwork to remind us of Brian himself.
