According to Paul Cole from Sundaymercury.net, LED ZEPPELIN legend ROBERT PLANT and Les Miserables tenor ALFIE BOE are teaming up for an album and live shows.
The two met by chance in a bar and got chatting. During the subsequent conversation, each realised that he was a fan of the other’s work and they decided they should sing together.
Plant has been promoting his BAND OF JOY project which was released a year ago.
Thirty-nine year-old tenor Boe has made his name in big musicals, and is regarded as the voice of Les Misérables thanks to his show-stealing performances as hero Jean Valjean.
The first fruit of the partnership is a cover version of TIM BUCKLEY’s signature sixties 'Song To The Siren', which will appear on Boe’s new album, Alfie, when it is released on October 31.
“The evolution of my voice is like playing a guitar,” says Plant. “The more you play guitar, the more dexterous you become, the more your fingers move faster and all that sort of thing. It’s the same with your voice. With Alison, I had to learn to sing harmonies, something I’d never done with Zeppelin. My voice has changed over the years and now I’m duetting with a tenor!”Read the entire story here.
