DEEP PURPLE To Release New Album In 2009?

March 7, 2008

In a recent interview conducted while the band was in Lima, Peru, DEEP PURPLE singer Ian Gillan stated about the group's plans for the coming months: "This is a three-year tour [that] finishes in Russia and then Germany in November. I guess we'll have Christmas off and then I hope we shall then go into the studio and make another record and do it all over again."

Fan-filmed video footage of DEEP PURPLE performing the song "Pictures of Home" on February 26, 2008 in Buenos Aires, Argentina can be viewed below (courtesy of "HellfireNico").

DEEP PURPLE played a gig on February 11 in Moscow as a farewell gift to Dmitry Medvedev, the chairman of gas giant Gazprom and Russia's next president.

The group performed at a show Gazprom put on at the Kremlin to mark the 15th anniversary of the firm's creation.

"This is simply surreal," Medvedev said on NTV television after the concert. "I started listening to DEEP PURPLE when I was 13. At that time their music was banned. I never would have imagined meeting the famous group in the Kremlin Palace."
