Of course Jimi Hendrix was a big science fiction fan
The secret science fiction inspiration behind Jimi Hendrix's music
Excerpt from above link:
Night of Light was a science fiction book that in 1966 inspired
Jimi to eventually write 'Purple Haze.' Farmer's story had to do with
sunspots having a disorienting effect on a distant planet's population.
Jimi wrote pages and pages of lyrics for 'Purple Haze,' originally an
epic tale of the history of warfare for the control of the planet
Neptune.

Auto-Tune: Why Pop Music Sounds Perfect
Auto-Tune: Why Pop Music Sounds Perfect - TIME <full story
... Almost immediately, studio engineers adopted it as a trade secret to fix flubbed notes, saving them the expense and hassle of having to redo sessions. The first time common ears heard Auto-Tune was on the immensely irritating 1998 Cher hit "Believe." In the first verse, when Cher sings "I can't break through" as though she's standing behind an electric fan, that's Auto-Tune--but it's not the way Hildebrand meant it to be used. The program's retune speed, which adjusts the singer's voice, can be set from zero to 400. "If you set it to 10, that means that the output pitch will get halfway to the target pitch in 10 milliseconds," says Hildebrand. "But if you let that parameter go to zero, it finds the nearest note and changes the output pitch instantaneously"--eliminating the natural transition between notes and making the singer sound jumpy and automated.

Led Zeppelin to tour without Robert Plant?
Led Zeppelin plan to audition new singer | The Sun |Showbiz|Bizarre

Maybe he doesn't want to tour as his voice is not as good as it used to be.
