WHITESNAKE Frontman Comes Face-To-Face With 'Huge, Black Bear'

July 18, 2007

WHITESNAKE/ex-DEEP PURPLE frontman David Coverdale has issued the following update via his official message board:

"I had to come on board and share this little incident that just transpired... There I was, standing in the kitchen, doing what most rock singers do when they ain't touring and posing...rinsing a cup, or two at the kitchen sink, as his wonderful housekeeper is on her [holiday]...windows wide open on this beautiful, balmy Tahoe day...when who pops up to say a surprising good morning...a HUGE black bear! Out of nowhere! Beautiful! Dude... I don't mind telling you I almost succumbed to involuntary bowel movement, I swear. Obviously the poor bugger was looking for food and was most intent on finding some in my modest 'Bide A Wee' pantry! Sorry, O Great One, says I and slowly, carefully closes the kitchen window feeling his/her breath on my hand and then proceeding to run around closing all access doors and windows while my persistent new furry pal explored all the potential avenues to enter my stately cabin by the lake. I'd like to think it was the smell of my fab cooking that seduced him/ her, but, it was only a slightly charred bagel! Man...what an experience... Lovely, I tells ya...just lovely. I'm leaving the pawprints, muddy tho' they may be, to show the ol' girl and whomever stoppeth by. Amazing stuff."

WHITESNAKE's video for the new studio song "Ready to Rock" has been posted online at this location (Real Media). The track is one of four previously unreleased cuts that appear on WHITESNAKE's new live record, entitled "Live… In the Shadow of the Blues", which was issued in Europe in November via Steamhammer/SPV Records.

WHITESNAKE has set "Good to be Bad" as the title of its new studio album, tentatively due before the end of the year.
