My Favourite Ancient Hottie Plants Passion at the Grammys
Monday, February 9, 2009 at 12:11 Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant was the big winner at the Grammys, taking home five prizes for his collaboration with bluegrass singer Alison Krauss.
The duo took the showpiece album of the year prize for Raising Sand along with record of the year for their single Please Read The Letter.
Plant led an array of British winners at the Los Angeles ceremony.
Plant and Krauss also won best contemporary folk/Americana album, best country collaboration with vocals and best pop collaboration with vocals.
"I'd like to say I'm bewildered," Plant told the audience.
"In the old days we would have called this selling out. But it's a good way to spend a Sunday."
Plant, 60, scotched rumours of a Led Zeppelin reunion last year to tour with Krauss, who at 37, now has 26 Grammys to her name.
"It's been a wonderful time," Krauss said as she collected the album of the year award. BBC NEWS
