Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has paid tribute to Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota, who tragically died in a car accident in northern Spain on July 3. The Portuguese international was 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plant, a lifelong Wolverhampton Wanderers supporter and Vice President of the club, expressed his grief on X (formerly Twitter), writing: \u201cWhat a tragic loss. The dimming of a bright, shining light. Thank you for your magic, Diogo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accident reportedly occurred in the early hours of Thursday morning as Jota was traveling from Portugal to Santander, where he planned to take a ferry back to England for pre-season training. He had been advised not to fly following minor surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His younger brother, Andre Silva, also a professional footballer in Portugal, was killed in the crash at age 25. According to CNN, Spain\u2019s Guardia Civil said the accident was likely caused by a \u201cburst tire while overtaking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plant\u2019s connection to Jota goes beyond music fandom. The rock icon has been a vice president at Wolves since 2009 and has attended countless matches at Molineux over the years. Jota\u2019s time at Wolves was a pivotal chapter in his career; after arriving on loan in 2017, he helped secure the club\u2019s promotion to the Premier League and stayed on to establish himself as a standout forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tributes poured in from across the football and entertainment worlds following the news. Cristiano Ronaldo shared an emotional message: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t make sense. Just now we were together in the national team, you had just got married. Rest in peace, Diogo e Andre. We will miss you.\u201d Former Liverpool manager J\u00fcrgen Klopp described Jota as \u201cnot only a fantastic player, but also a great friend, a loving and caring husband and father.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jota\u2019s sudden passing comes just 11 days after he married his long-time partner, Rute Cardoso. He is survived by Cardoso and their three young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
