Robert Plant will be the featured guest on the season-six premiere of Dan Rather's AXS TV show, "The Big Interview", on March 13.

"You grow into what might initially be an infatuation with the idea of entering something very special, very daring… Being attracted to the footlights and the entertainment and the smell of a venue and the anticipation in a crowd, I loved that. I thought that was an amazing thing, you know. I've been a music fan and a fan of all things that are interesting and occasionally unique so I'm always a member of the audience and an entertainer really. So, yeah, it's a craft." In "The Big Interview", legendary newsman Dan Rather sits down with some of the most celebrated figures from all across the entertainment spectrum. The upcoming season features 20 all-new episodes, divided into winter and fall cycles. Other guests include Robby Krieger and John Densmore, the surviving members of psychedelic powerhouse THE DOORS; chart-topping country songstress Shania Twain; and singer, songwriter and actor Billy Ray Cyrus.
