deep purple

David Coverdale will return to his time as lead singer for Deep Purple during their Mark III and IV eras for an upcoming album with Whitesnake.

Accompanying this morning's announcement of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2015 induction class was the usual head shaking and open-mouthed disbelief that some of classic rock's oldest and most worthy bands were passed up once again.

Ian Gillan would rather turn down induction than be forced to be on the same stage as Ritchie Blackmore again.

Deep Purple will officially issue the 'Graz 1975' concert, long considered the best-ever from its Mk III edition.

The veteran band will play 19 shows, with stops in Orlando and Las Vegas planned.

Deep Purple's Mk. I released their final album on June 21, 1969.

Deep Purple are currently in the studio creating the follow-up to 2013's 'Now What?!'

Ian Gillan has a message for all the youngsters who think they should step aside.

Last night (May 12), the 10th Annual MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert was held at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne and Village Studios owner / CEO Jeff Greenberg were the night's honorees, but Metallica were also an important part of the show, performing a four-song set of classic covers.

Metallica delivered a four-song acoustic covers set at a benefit honoring Ozzy Osbourne.

Deep Purple's decision to perform in Turkish-occupied Cyprus may not be sitting well with certain pundits and a number of fans, but the show itself looks like it's shaping up to be a colossal event.

Deep Purple are releasing a CD of their headline-making April 6, 1974 concert from the California Jam festival on April 1.
