GLENN HUGHES To Be Made Honorary Citizen Of Kavarna, Bulgaria

January 16, 2007

Legendary vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH, TRAPEZE) has been invited by his good friend, Tsonko Tsonev, the Mayor of Kavarna, Bulgaria, to play in his city again on May 6, 2007. This will be a very special event as Mr. Tsonev will make Glenn an honorary citizen of Kavarna. At 12 noon, Glenn will cut a ribbon in front of a building at the Central City Square, which has had a specially commissioned portrait of Glenn painted onto it (other buildings in Kavarna have portraits of Ian Gillan and Ronnie James Dio on them). Glenn will then be presented with the Honourable Sign of Kavarna, making him an honorary citizen of Kavarna. After the ceremony, Glenn will then perform with his band.

In other news, Glenn will play a show on May 9 in Tzaribrod, Serbia, which is about 150 kilometers from Sofia. Again, this will be a unique event because Glenn has been invited there by the Mayor of Tzaribrod, a friend of Mr. Tsonev, to be the first major international artist to perform in the city. The concert will take place in a new hall in the city, and Glenn's show — as it will be the first concert at the new hall — will act as an inauguration for the hall. As the hall is so new, they do not have a name for it as yet, so Mr. Tsonev has suggested that it be called the "Glenn Hughes Music Hall."

As previously reported, Glenn Hughes will be the featured guest on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" airing Wednesday, February 7. The live show begins at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET, and fans are encouraged to call in with questions during the program at (800) 344-ROCK (7625).

Glenn Hughes' latest solo album, "Music for the Divine", will receive its long-awaited U.S. release on January 30, 2007 via Demolition Records. The CD, which is available now in Europe on Frontiers Records, was recorded in Chad Smith's house in Los Angeles 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.
