DEEP PURPLE Frontman To Guest On ALICE COOPER's Radio Show

April 17, 2006

DEEP PURPLE frontman Ian Gillan will be Alice Cooper's special guest on Cooper's radio show "Nights with Alice Cooper" airing on Wednesday, April 19. The program is a classic-rock format and is nationally syndicated on the United Stations Radio Networks. Air times differ, so make sure to check out NightsWithAliceCooper.com for more information.

Gillan's upcoming all-star retrospective disc, "Gillan's Inn", is scheduled for release on April 18. The CD sees Gillan revisiting a number of songs from throughout his career, which has included his long tenure in DEEP PURPLE, his solo work, and a short-lived membership in BLACK SABBATH, according to Launch Radio Networks. Gillan cut the album with friends including DEF LEPPARD singer Joe Elliott, GOO GOO DOLLS leader Johnny Rzeznik, SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi, and former RAINBOW and SABBATH singer Ronnie James Dio, as well as current and former members of DEEP PURPLE. The album will be released in the DualDisc format, so while one side has the music in traditional stereo, the other side will include a 5.1 mix, video from the recording sessions, previously unseen photos, footage from a bootleg DVD, and multiple versions of "Smoke on the Water" done with different guitarists. "Gillan's Inn" comes out April 18.
