How does a parent grapple with the unthinkable? The tragic loss of a child leaves an indelible scar, forever altering the landscape of their life. For Robert Plant, the legendary frontman of Led Zeppelin, this nightmare became a reality in 1977 with the passing of his young son, Karac Pendragon Plant.
The vibrant life of Karac, born in 1972, was cut short at the tender age of five. A seemingly innocuous stomach virus, or infection as some accounts suggest, proved fatal, casting a long shadow over Plant's personal and professional life. The news reached Plant while he was on tour with Led Zeppelin in the United States, a moment that irrevocably changed the course of the band's trajectory. The tour, initially slated to extend into August, was abruptly canceled as Plant rushed home to be with his family.
