Robert Plant Collapses Mid-Performance — Steven Tyler’s Hospital Visit Leaves Fans in Tears Rock legend Robert Plant collapsed on stage during “Stairway to Heaven

It was meant to be a night of nostalgia and fire — a triumphant return to the spotlight. Thousands gathered under the starlit sky at Glastonbury, many hoping to witness a living legend sing a song that once defined a generation. Robert Plant, now 76, took the stage with a quiet but unmistakable fire in his eyes.

He began with a few solo hits. The crowd swayed gently, the air thick with reverence. But when the first chords of “Stairway to Heaven” echoed across the festival grounds, the crowd erupted. Phones rose into the air. Tears welled in the eyes of fans who never thought they’d hear him sing it live again.

But no one could have foreseen what would happen just minutes later.

As the second verse began, Plant’s voice — haunting and clear — suddenly wavered. He took a step backward, gripping the microphone stand. At first, the audience thought it was part of the act. But then came the stumble. The sway. And finally — the collapse.

Gasps turned to screams. Stage crew rushed in. A medic sprinted from the wings. The music had stopped. But the silence was deafening.

Within ten minutes, an ambulance had arrived backstage. Robert Plant, motionless but breathing, was loaded in with a mask over his face. His longtime tour manager was seen holding back tears as the vehicle sped toward Bristol General Hospital.

News broke before midnight.
