Robert Plant, the former Led Zeppelin singer, has been made a commander of the British Empire in London, Buckingham Palace says.

E! Online reports Prince Edward of Wales bestowed the prestigious honor on Plant Friday.

By receiving the commander status, the 60-year-old singer now outranks fellow Led Zeppelin alum Jimmy Page. Page was honored as an officer of the British Empire four years ago.

E! Online noted the British royal family had previously conferred knighthood on rockers Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and Elton John.
