Robert Plant is on the cover of the new issue of Uncut, dated September 2014 and out now.

Robert Plant, Tom Petty, King Crimson and Bobby Womack all feature in the new issue of Uncut, dated September 2014 (Take 208) and out tomorrow (July 29). We track Plant, on the cover, from the Welsh Marches to the nightclubs of Paris to hear about bee colonies, mountain lions, altercations with Moroccan traffic cops, Bron-Yr-Aur, Jimmy Page, and Plant's extraordinary new solo album.

The first of Led Zeppelin's long-promised remastered reissues will be released this year.

Robert Plant explains that he much prefers performing with his latest band, the Sensational Space Shifters, to playing hits from his past, in the new issue of Uncut.

Robert Plant has joined the world of social media, opening Twitter and Instagram accounts as well as a Google+ account, while also relaunching his website.

Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has said that he's open to a reunion of the band next year, saying his schedule is clear for 2014. Speaking to 60 Minutes in Australia, Plant said he was waiting on his bandmates Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones in order to kick off the reunion, blaming their silence on the fact that they are Capricorns. Plant said: "They don't say a word. They're quite contained in their own worlds and they leave it to me. I'm not the bad guy... You need to see the Capricorns – I've got nothing to do in 2014."

More deliciously dark Americana. And a few surprises too...
