UPDATE: Plant’s U.K.-based manager says was being “cheeky” when he used the word “eloped” to describe his home life. “Robert has not married Patty Griffin,” she tells us. “He was just referring to the fact that he’s been residing in Texas.”
Rock legend and recent Americana emigre Robert Plant, has taken his Austin Austin residency seriously.
Led Zeppelin and Band of Joy front man revealed in an interview last Wednesday with the U.K.’s Independent
that he has secretly tied the knot with Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and Band of Joy member Patty Griffin.
“I eloped and ran off to Texas,” Plant told the newspaper.
No word on if the couple has been seen at the local Whole Foods product isle and whether Griffin can keep her hands off his lemon.
Plant can do whatever he wants, but I’m glad Alison Krauss is touring with Union Station again!
