London band Led Zeppelin split apart in 1980 after rising to fame in the 1970s to become a household name.
Famed for songs including Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta Love, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.
For all their fame, they somehow never managed to achieve a number one single, but did have seven albums who hit number one in the charts.
Plant currently works with low-key acoustic band Saving Grace, whom he has been with since 2019.
Accrington sit 20th in League Two, having won just three games from 13 in the division this season.
