Three years after Led Zeppelin's one-off reunion gig at London's O2 Arena, Plant formed Band of Joy, which took its name from the very first band he was in during the 1960s. That's when he began collaborating with Griffin, a well-respected singer-songwriter who's worked with the likes of Emmylou Harris and the Dixie Chicks and had her songs coverd by Jessica Simpson, Linda Ronstadt and many more. She also features prominently on Band of Joy's eponymous 2010 album.
This would be Plant's second union. He was previously married for 15 years to Maureen Wilson, with whom he had three children (son Karac died in 1977 at the age of 5), before they divorced in 1983.
