Plant was crying due to the fact that Jason was on drums. Jason's appearance was kept a secret. Robert was the one that went to Bonzo's wife and son Jason to tell them of his death, so Robert has a very emotional connection to Jason. Also that drum kit that Jason is playing on his one of his late father's drum kits.

@Peter Cunha Manowar is one example against. But part of the reason why that statement is the music industry intentionally murdered metal in America and we are just recovering now. But the Scandinavian countries are going through a golden age of metal. The other problem is it is harder to find good metal bands because of the hacks reporting on metal. A good source to find great bands is Razorfist. He is a bit of a music snob but he knows his shit.

Robert Plant teared up because he had just told Jimmy Page that they should have invited John Bonham's son, Jason, to be there that night since his father was equally responsible and deserving of the honor. He told him he felt bad for not thinking to include him. And then when Heart started playing he saw it was Jason on the drum kit. He was surprised and emotionally overwhelmed to the point of tears. And the hat is an homage to John Bonham, and has become a trademark of Jason.
