In a candid interview with Mojo magazine, legendary rock singer Robert Plant revealed his humorous backup plan for his music career. If his music ever loses its appeal, Plant jokingly said he would become an Elvis Presley impersonator, claiming he is quite good at doing Elvis. This lighthearted comment was made during a discussion about his solo work and post-Led Zeppelin career[1][2].

Plant's decision to avoid the current music scene seems to be rooted in his deep emotional attachment to his past. He has expressed a fondness for artists like Steven Tyler, mentioning his refusal to attend the Back To The Beginning gig due to emotional reasons related to seeing Tyler[1].

During the interview, Plant also reminisced about his time with Led Zeppelin, the biggest band in the world. He admitted that after the band's disbandment, he was suddenly launched into a post-Zeppelin phase where he decided not to play any Zeppelin music again[2]. Despite the lack of popularity of his record, Shaken 'n' Stirred, Plant has chosen to continue his music career, finding "other places that are so rich" instead of the current music scene[1][2].

However, Plant did not provide specific details about these "other places" he found rich, leaving his fans and music enthusiasts intrigued about his future musical endeavours. One thing is certain, though - Robert Plant's music career, whether it's in its current form or as an Elvis impersonator, is bound to be as captivating as his legendary performances with Led Zeppelin.
