Serbian Concert Hall Officially Named After GLENN HUGHES

February 7, 2007

Legendary bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) will play a show on May 9 in Dimitrovgrad, Serbia, which is about 50 km from Sofia, Bulgaria. 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. Today it was announced by the Mayor of Dimitrovgrad that the new hall has been officially named the "Glenn Hughes Music Hall."

Commented Hughes: "I am full of gratitude to have a public building named in my honor. I want to thank the Mayor and the good people of Serbia. May the 'Glenn Hughes Music Hall' be filled with great memories in the years to come."

As previously reported, Glenn Hughes has posted the video for the song "This House" from his latest solo album "Music for the Divine" on his MySpace page. Featuring Glenn on vocals and bass guitar, Chad Smith (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) on drums and JJ Marsh on acoustic guitar, the clip was filmed at Chad's home in the Hollywood Hills, California and directed by Jon Cohan.

"Music for the Divine" has just received its long-awaited U.S. release via Demolition Records. The CD, which is available in Europe on Frontiers Records, was recorded in Chad Smith's 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.
