Witnesses described how Plant closed his eyes and began to sing a havnting,
unaccompanied rendition of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” His weathered yet
soaring voice carried through the chapel like a prayer, each note trembling with
grief, reverence, and an vnspoken understanding of what it means to lose a brother
in music
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood, seated in the front row, were visibly
moved.

Jagger was seen wiping away tears as Plant’s voice reached the final verse,
the simple hymn transformed into a soul-stirring farewell for the man who had been the quiet heartbeat of the Rolling Stones.

When the last note trembled into silence, Mick rose from his seat and embraced
Plant, later calling the performance “the most beautiful farewell Charlie could have
ever received.” Movrners described the moment as less a performance and more
“one soul sending another home.” Within hours, the Rolling Stones released a
statement honoring Plant’s tribute, calling it “a gift of pure love for our brother.”
