Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant awarded CBE

Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant awarded CBERobert Plant was honoured as a CBE by Prince Charles in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Friday, letting the former Led Zeppelin singer finally one-up guitarist Jimmy Page. While Page is a member of the Order of the British Empire, Plant now outranks him with his new title of Commander of the British Empire. Plant didn't seem to think this really mattered. "If we can remember each other's phone number at this time in life it's a miracle," he said. "We're still good friends, we both enjoy a rather dark sense of humour that comes, I think, from being on the wrong side of the tracks for all those wild years." - Guardian
