GLENN HUGHES: 'America Is Such An Important Market For Me'

March 19, 2007

Legendary vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH, TRAPEZE) has issued the following update:

"I will be leaving for Rotterdam on Wednesday. I absolutely LOVE singing with a full orchestra, I get chills thinking about it. See you there on Friday evening.

"My show on Sunday evening in London will also be a special event for me. I have had a great start to the year, and this show comes at a wonderful time.

"The amazing reception we got in Russia and the Ukraine was a turning point in my career.

"It feels good headlining theaters again; I have missed the big stages. The passion and the soul will be carried onto the stage at Sheperd's Bush on Sunday night! I know there will be a lot of you there; it's gonna be funky!

"The L.A. and NYC shows are now on sale. America is such an important market for me. I will keep you updated when more shows are confirmed. Please be advised as to get your tickets soon..."

Hughes' latest solo album, "Music for the Divine", received its long-awaited U.S. release late January via Demolition Records. The CD, which is available in Europe on Frontiers Records, was recorded in drummer Chad Smith's (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) house and again features Smith on drums and longtime Glenn Hughes collaborator JJ Marsh on guitar. Also featured are RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS guitarist John Frusciante and Mark Killian, who has provided the string arrangements and keyboards.

Glenn recently announced his new touring band as Jeff Kollman on guitar, Mark Mondesir on drums and Anders Olinder on keyboards.
