5. Robert Plant
Led Zepplin is one of the most badass bands to ever grace any stage. Robert Plant, who is known as the lead singer of the band, is quite the talent. They were defining rock and roll of their generation however in the mid-70s a curse came upon them that caused multiple setbacks which kept them from capitalizing on the momentum. Then, on July 26, 1977 while the band was on tour, Plant got the worst news of his life.
Plant’s five-year-old son Karac had suddenly passed away due to a stomach virus. The band’s tour manager Richard Cole spoke about phone calls between Plant and his wife that day saying, “The first phone call said his son was sick, and the second phone call, unfortunately, Karac had died in that time.”
Plants father said, “Karac was the apple of Robert’s eye; they idolized one another.” This terrible tragedy almost split the legendary group up, Plant went on to continue making music but we are certain life has never been the same for him since that phone call back in 1977.
