Tragedy at Camp Mystic: 27 Girls Found Dead After July 4th Floods
This is the kind of news that makes the world stand still.
It has been confirmed: the 27 girls who vanished during the July 4th floods at Camp Mystic in Kerr County, Texas, have been found. Early this morning, rescue teams recovered the final bodies from the Guadalupe River. What little hope the families clung to is now gone.
Across Texas, the death toll has risen to 104, making this one of the deadliest natural disasters in the state’s history. Communities remain in mourning. Grief hangs heavy in the air—at churches, in town halls, across school gyms turned into shelters.
But amid the sorrow, one voice has quietly broken through the silence—not from a pulpit or a press conference, but from the heart.
Robert Plant, the 76-year-old frontman of Led Zeppelin, made a quiet yet powerful gesture. He donated $1.5 million to support the families of the victims and the first responders who risked everything. Then, he vanished from the public eye.
Word has it he retreated to a small studio near Black Country. No band. No lights. Just Plant, a guitar, and his grief. There, he recorded a stripped-down, emotional version of “Tell That Angel | Love Her”—a song that sounds less like it was performed, and more like it was wept.
It’s raw. Unpolished. There’s no production, just pain. But for many, it’s the only thing that’s come close to expressing what this loss truly feels like.
As Texas mourns, that simple song has become something more—a cry, a prayer, a reminder that even in heartbreak, music can speak when words fall short.
