Last week Glenn Hughes needed to re-schedule dates of his “GLENN HUGHES PERFORMS CLASSIC DEEP PURPLE LIVE” May 2019 UK Tour due to health issues. The former bassist and singer of Deep Purple, known to millions as the ‘Voice of Rock’, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and the current front man for rock super group Black Country Communion, is pleased to also announce a new set of dates in November alongside the re-scheduled ones.

The re-scheduled dates include Salisbury, Norwich, Holmfirth and Birmingham with additional dates in Bexhill, Cambridge, Cheltenham, Aberdeen, Inverness and Middlesbrough.

“I’m excited to return to touring “Classic Deep Purple Live” in the UK in November 2019,” says Glenn. “I first toured Classic Deep Purple Live in Australia and New Zealand last year and it went down a storm. We are looking forward for a second round in the UK in November.”

Deep Purple took a quantum leap when the then 20-year-old Glenn Hughes was seconded from British funk-rock outfit Trapeze in mid-1973. As bassist and co-vocalist (with David Coverdale), he helped steer the legendary rock group in the progressive direction of Burn (1974), Stormbringer (1974) and Come Taste the Band (1975), while touring the world for three years.
