  • Robert Plant Praises Phil Collins for Encouraging His Solo Career After Led Zeppelin's Split

    Robert Plant recently revealed that after John Bonham's death and Led Zeppelin's split, there was one musician who really helped jumpstart his solo career. Genesis drummer/singer Phil Collins gave the vocalist some much-needed encouragement to break out as a solo act. Plant has now been recording music as a solo artist for more than three decades and he has been quite successful.After Zeppelin disbanded, Plant did not know how to start over, but other musicians were ready to play with the popular singer, Blabbermouth notes."I made my business to go out and start again at the age of 32 — it's, like, hysterical, really, when you think about it now," he said. "But I worked and worked with these guys — Robbie Blunt, who was a particularly fine guitarist. And I was graced by my first two solo records 'Pictures at Eleven' and 'The Principle of Moments.' A drummer contacted me and said, 'I love Bonham so much I wanna sit behind you when you sing. It was Phil Collins. His career was just kicking in and he was the most spirited and positive and really encouraging force, because you can't imagine what it was like, me trying to carve my own way after all that."

  • Are These Three New Katy Perry Songs?

    All has been quiet on the Katy Perry music front lately, but it appears that something has been brewing in the "Dark Horse" singer's lab of late. As to be expected with any large pop star, there have been rumors and plenty of speculation from die-hard fans, but nothing concrete as of yet. That seems to have changed. According to the résumé of decorated mixer Serban Ghenea via "Popjustice," there are three new Katy Perry songs that he has worked on, titled "She's So Creepy," "In Flames" and "Heartache Crusade."Check out his résumé in the document here and skip to Page 4 of 23 to see the evidence. Ghenea has mixed for artists like Keith Urban, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Kesha, One Direction, Rihanna, Usher, Katy Perry and more. He has worked on just about every big pop star of the past 15 years in music.The song "She's So Creepy" could be throwing shade at Taylor Swift and would bring their public tiff to a new level from the occasional comment and social media jab into discographies. Katy Petty would be pulling a Taylor Swift by writing a song about an enemy. The irony.
