Dandu Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Plant 'unhappy with Jimmy Page snub' Thursday, July 24 2008, 12:09 BST By Alex Fletcher, Entertainment Reporter Robert Plant is unhappy that Jimmy Page didn't mention him during an awards speech last month, say reports. The singer is apparently angry that he wasn't mentioned when Page collected Led Zeppelin's best live act gong at the MOJO Honours ceremony. According to The Sun, Page's omission may have jeopardised any future plans for further Led Zeppelin shows. "Robert was really disappointed that he didn't merit a mention," said a source. "The award was for the band’s performance, so he thought he should have at least been thanked." Plant, who was nominated for the Mercury Prize earlier this week, is reportedly the only member of Led Zeppelin that doesn't want a full reunion tour. Led Zep reunion may not happen From: The Sun THAT LED ZEP reunion tour is getting further and further away from happening, due to a speech by JIMMY PAGE going down like a lead balloon. ROBERT PLANT is furious his riff-slinging partner failed to thank him as he collected their gong at June’s MOJO Honours bash. The Best Live Act award recognised their triumph at the O2 last December but Mercury-nominee Plant was on tour with his musical partner ALISON KRAUSS, so could not attend. During his lengthy acceptance speech, Page did not refer to Plant once. A source said: “Robert was really disappointed that he didn’t merit a mention. The award was for the band’s performance, so he thought he should have at least been thanked.” Any truth to this? Or just the BS of a slow news week?

I certainly don't know the truth but I'd say it's a slow news week. The press puts their own spin on everything....I rather doubt Robert had any issues with Jimmy and JPJ's 30 second acceptance speech. He's having too much fun to let petty stuff bother him!

mstork Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 So Robert's gone from not caring one iota about all the Zeppelin awards Jimmy usually picks up by himself to being hurt that he wasn't mentioned in the acceptance speech? Not bloody likely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllisonAdler Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) What exactly does the silly Sun think Robert wanted to be thanked for? His noblesse oblige?! They all wanted to be there, and this is just typical of that good-for-nowt gossip rag. Oh yeah, and here's Jimmy's 'epic' acceptance speech: Edited July 24, 2008 by AllisonAdler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamarine Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) I don't understand what the Sun thinks Robert feels he should have been thanked for. When you win an award, you thank a bunch of other people, you don't thank yourselves. Edit: Sorry, Allison, didn't realize I'd echoed you!

Medhb Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 He looks well and happy! It's so cute the way he hugs the award. He's a class act, and so appreciates the fans. Look, he and Robert have already kissed and made up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zepaholic Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 A source said: “Robert was really disappointed that he didn’t merit a mention. The award was for the band’s performance, so he thought he should have at least been thanked.” Uh-huh, this source most likely is some grumpy copy editor who has never even heard of Robert Plant. ANd when did recipients of awards start thanking themselves instead of thanking the presenting body? Is this a recent trend? F'n drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetTheLedOut4526 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Could be true, Robert always has been very tempermental. Not really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widget Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Could be true, Robert always has been very tempermental. From what I understand of the provenance of this rumour, it was in the rag known as The Sun. So it is probably a gossip beat-up story trying to sell papers. I wouldn't trust anything printed in it.

Reggie29 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I see the usual suspects are on his case again. Sucked in by a bit of tabloid trash and they're jumping on him like a seagull onto a chip.

RoundRobin Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Since Robert didn't show up for the Lifetime achievement awards at the Grammy's in 2008, maybe Jimmy figured Robert didn't care this time and just left him out as to not point out his absence again.
