GLENN HUGHES Announces New Band For European Tour

October 11, 2006

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

"I just wanted you all to know that I am very excited about taking my brand new band out on tour. Joining me this tour will be Jeff Kollman on guitar, Mark Mondesir on drums and Anders Olinder on keys.

"As with most artists I admire, I felt it necessary and the right time to play with exciting new players. I want to be pushed and I want to be challenged and it will bring something new and inspirational to my shows. I have thought long and hard about this and now is the right time for a change. I would like to wish Sebastian and Kjell all the very best and to JJ: good luck with your new CD."
