Since its release in 1971‚ Led Zeppelin‘s “Stairway To Heaven” has been regarded as one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The group formally disbanded in 1980 but the song has endured through its surviving members and recently enjoyed airtime just last autumn. However‚ lead singer Robert Plant strongly believes he will no longer perform “Stairway to Heaven” ever again. Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page composed the progressive folk rock song‚ with Plant providing the lyrics for the band’s untitled fourth studio album‚ commonly referred to as Led Zeppelin IV. In its list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time‚ Rolling Stone ranked the track as number 31. So‚ why is Plant saying goodbye to it with such certainty? Robert Plant doesn’t anticipate performing “Stairway to Heaven” ever again Robert Plant sang Stairway to Heaven for the first time in nearly two decades / YouTube screenshot Plant last performed the chart-topper during a charity concert last October supporting The Cancer Platform. This was Plant’s first time singing “Stairway to Heaven” since the band’s 2007 performance at London’s O2 Arena – and‚ likely‚ his last time. RELATED: Post-Band Life Of The Living Members Of Led Zeppelin‚ Years Later “It was cathartic‚” Plant recalled of last autumn. “People go‚ ‘Oh‚ that’s good. He never was going to do that.’ But I didn’t really do it! I just blurted it out.” He continued‚ “Cause it’s such an important song to me for where I was at the time and where I was with Jimmy [Page] and with John [Paul Jones] and Bonzo [John Bonham]. So on that night‚ it was what it was. It was a trial by fire‚ but I felt better at the end than at the beginning.” The future isn’t set in stone‚ however‚ and given the right circumstances‚ Plant is up for anything The chart-topping track is very important to him / Everett Collection In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine honoring the special‚ long-anticipated return of “Stairway to Heaven‚” however‚ Plant kept an open mind. When the interviewer noted that this may be the last time 75-year-old Plant will sing that song‚ he agreed‚ “Yeah‚ I think you’re probably right. I haven’t got around to doing the ice-skating rinks in Finland yet with a small orchestra.” ROCKFIELD: THE STUDIO ON THE FARM‚ Robert Plant‚ 2020. © Abramorama /Courtesy Everett Collection At that point in the interview‚ he laughed but went on hopefully‚ “So I don’t think I’ll be doing that‚ but I don’t know. Who knows? Something could change somewhere. Spirit and heart could come back in the soul. It’s a long song. Who can remember all those words?” The runtime varies a bit by version and even venue‚ but “Stairway to Heaven” generally lasts about eight minutes. That puts it not far behind Led Zeppelin’s longest song‚ “In My Time of Dying‚” which lasts around 11 minutes.

Payson High School students long for Kevin Bacon’s presence at their upcoming spring prom before the building gets torn down. They are campaigning with the support of Utah’s governor‚ Spencer Cox‚ to get Bacon to do one last dance in April as the hit film turns 40. The school was established in 1967 and was the location for many scenes in 1984’s Footloose‚ where Bacon played Ren McCormack. The movie was a box office success and got nominated for Best Original Song at the 57th Academy Awards for featured songs “Footloose” by Kenny Loggins and “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” by Deneice Williams. ‘Footloose’ celebrates 40th anniversary FOOTLOOSE‚ Lori Singer‚ Kevin Bacon‚ 1984‚ (c) Paramount/courtesy Everett Collection Jill Hammond was a sophomore at Payson when she was selected to choreograph alongside Bacon for a dance number. The scene took over two weeks to shoot‚ and although it never made the final cut‚ Jill was grateful for the experience. “It’s not just a great film— it’s this small Utah town’s claim to fame. Kevin was charismatic and kind‚” she gushed. “Even though he was just starting back then‚ you knew he was going to be a star someday.” RELATED: Kevin Bacon Opens Up About Possibility Of ‘Footloose’ Sequel 40 Years Later She reminisced about seeing Footloose “for the first time in the theater for my 16th birthday” as well. “I remember when the trailers came out‚ we pointed out our friends‚ and the back of my head‚” Jill said. “No matter how old you are‚ you know the song ‘Footloose.’” The current sophomore class president‚ Lauren Krout‚ proudly remarked that “seeing those spots every day and attending a school where I recognize Kevin’s locker…feels like I’m in the movie.” FOOTLOOSE‚ Kevin Bacon‚ 1984‚ (c) Paramount/courtesy Everett Collection Senior Rubie Rauff was not so impressed when she first saw the film‚ however the campaign for Bacon’s last dance gave her second thoughts. “I didn’t process how cool it was before. I wasn’t alive when it was filmed in Payson‚ but I realize how proud our town is of this movie‚” the 18-year-old said. “So many people want him to come‚ and I feel it’s become more possible.” FOOTLOOSE‚ Lori Singer‚ Kevin Bacon‚ 1984‚ (c) Paramount/courtesy Everett Collection Rubie has contributed significantly to the ongoing movement to catch Bacon’s attention by encouraging the community and contacting the Leave The World Behind star’s non-profit group‚ SixDegrees.org. The student body publicity officer and school’s social media manager‚ Olivia Vincent‚ is also hopeful that the film icon will show up to their prom‚ as he commented on one of their TikTok posts. The #BackToPayson trend kicked off last year on Bacon’s 64th birthday and is still on as the kids have their fingers crossed.
