Legendary bassist GLENN HUGHES (BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, ex-DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) will launch an exclusive weekly radio show on Planet Rock on Sunday June 5th at 6pm GMT.

Every week, Glenn will choose his favourite rock songs, and seminal tracks that have influenced him over the years, plus songs that continue to inspire him today. As one of the true rock’n’roll icons, Hughes will reveal controversial tales and anecdotes from his long and glittering career, during which he's played with some of the biggest and best bands and artists of all time. Get ready for stories about his experiences with Black Sabbath, Ronnie James Dio, David Coverdale, LED ZEPPELIN, DAVID BOWIE, Deep Purple and the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, to name but a few.

Hughes comments: "I would like to thank Planet Rock for giving me the opportunity to share with listeners the songs that have shaped my life. Every song is chosen by me, and there will rock 'n’roll stories along the away. I am a messenger..."

The series will run on Planet Rock on Sunday evenings at 6pm – 7pm beginning on 5th June. For more info and to listen to the show go here.
