Ian Gillan admitted that Deep Purple never intended to retire, despite calling their 2017 trek The Long Goodbye. During a recent interview with SiriusXM’s Eddie Trunk, the singer explained the reasoning behind the tour name. “That was a joke, actually, because it was the promoters,” Gillian confessed. “And someone said, ‘We’ve gotta sell some more tickets.’ And it’s the good old standby, the farewell tour. So I said, ‘OK, we’ll call it ‘goodbye’ tour, but let’s call it ‘the long goodbye’, and let’s make the emphasis on the word ‘long’,’ so it’s kind of an enigmatic phrase.” READ MORE: 15 Farew...

Deep Purple and Yes launched their joint 2024 tour on Wednesday night in Hollywood, Florida. See set lists and videos below. The =1 More Time tour celebrates Deep Purple’s latest studio album, also called =1, and 50 years of “Smoke on the Water.” (Frontman Ian Gillan, in a recent interview with UCR, said he’d have preferred if the tour was called “Unleashed – not that it matters. It’s a Deep Purple tour and we’re happy.”) Yes’ latest tour follows 2023’s Mirror to the Sky, but the group stuck with old favorites. Their most recent release was an expanded 4CD or limited-edition white vinyl annive...

Don’t pay attention to the rumors you may have heard. “So far, so good,” he quips early in the below conversation with UCR. You can apply that thought to many things beyond their ongoing prowess on the road. Earlier this year, Deep Purple released =1, their newest studio album, which once again features legendary producer Bob Ezrin at the helm. There’s mutual respect between the two parties and it makes sense: Both Ezrin and the members of Deep Purple are not kn...

Glenn Hughes said his late friend David Bowie would be pissed at him for remaining closely connected to his Deep Purple roots. The pair met in the mid ‘70s and Bowie wrote most of Station To Station while living incognito in Hughes’ home. In a recent interview with Guitar Interactive (video below), Hughes recalled the experience. “I got a call from him in Feb. ’75. He asked me privately, ‘I’m gonna come on a train to L.A. – can I stay with you?’” Hughes suggested it was dangerous for Bowie to travel alone, but that’s what he did, arriving three days later.

Former Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes has no interest in reuniting with his old bandmates on account of what he felt to be disrespectful behavior at their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2016. In a recent interview with Guitar Interactive, Hughes directed his attention toward Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and Ian Paice, the three longest-standing members of the band. Hughes and singer David Coverdale joined Deep Purple and replaced Gillan and Glover, respectively, from 1973 to 1976, though they were also included in the 2016 induction. “I will never speak to any of them again, simply becaus...

Ritchie Blackmore detailed his decision to step away from Deep Purple in the ‘90s and pursue the more traditional folk-rock project Blackmore’s Night, explaining that he had grown bored with the travails of playing in a world-famous hard rock band. The guitarist left Deep Purple for good in 1993; he then briefly rebooted Rainbow before starting Blackmore’s Night with singer (and now-wife) Candice Night in 1997. As Blackmore recently explained to New Jersey Stage: “The stress was from the traveling to do with rock ’n’ roll, the continual trying to come up with different augmentations of heavy r...
