Glenn Hughes, the former bassist, and singer of Deep Purple has announced, 'Glenn Hughes Performs Classic Deep Purple Live - Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the album BURN' October 2023 UK Tour.
Glenn’s band will feature Soren Andersen (guitar), Ash Sheehan (drums) and Bob Fridzema(keyboards) and will perform Deep Purple’s “BURN” and will also perform Deep Purple MKIII and MKIV songs.
'It was 50 years ago, in the summer of 1973, that the BURN album by Deep Purple was written at Clearwell Castle in the Forest of Dean Gloucestershire,” reminisces Glenn. “It was recorded in October in Montreux, Switzerland.”
“We all became one in this centuries old castle in the UK countryside, it felt like Deep were a new band, with David (Coverdale) and I as new members, we couldn’t wait to start working on new songs. The atmosphere was electric, in such amazing surroundings.”
“As you could imagine, Ritchie Blackmore was in full prankster mode, Jon had warned me, and he rigged my room one night with a speaker that was hidden, and had ghostly voices delivered to my bedside.”
“The title track was the last song to be written. We came back from the pub, and went down into the crypt, and magic happened.” Concludes Glenn, “It’s time to celebrate BURN, and I’m really looking forward to seeing you.”
Planet Rock has a 48-hour ticket pre-sale running now and tickets go on general sale at 10am on Thursday February 23
