We present measurements on plasmonic metamolecules under local excitation using cathodoluminescence which show a spatial redistribution of the local density of optical states at the same frequency where a sharp spectral Fano feature in extinction has been observed. Our analytical model shows that both near- and far-field effects arise due to interference of the same two eigenmodes of the system. We present quantitative insights both in a bare state, and in a dressed state picture that describe Fano interference either as near- field amplitude transfer between coupled bare states, or as interference of uncoupled eigenmodes in the far field. We identify the same eigenmode causing a dip in extinction to strongly enhance the radiative local density of optical states, making it a promising candidate for spontaneous emission control.
