Deep Purple will release their new album, inFinite, on April 7th via earMUSIC. The band have also announced their Long Goodbye Tour, with fans speculating about the meaning of the title inFinite and the wording "Long Goodbye".

In a new interview with Rock Antenne, Ian Paice and Roger Glover discuss why they hate the word "last", and what they are looking forward to.

In regards to the term “the last”, Ian Paice says, “There’s gonna be a day in the not-so-far future when it is gonna be ‘the last’. That’s an emotional strain that I don’t think any one of us are brave enough to say, ‘this is the date’. But we are thinking… not thinking, we are realizing that that time is creeping up, every day that goes on those numbers mount up, and it’s inevitable. I know we sort of feel differently about this, but I think this will be the last big major world tour. Not that it’s physically demanding; we tour very easily, but it could take two or three years.”

Current details for the upcoming inFinite album can be found below.

Fans will be thrilled as they cover decades of favorites for this run.

Alice Cooper brings his own brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new. Known as the architect of shock-rock, Cooper has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo. Alice’s catalog of hits and anthems, including “I’m Eighteen,” “No More Mr Nice Guy,” School’s Out,” “Elected,” “Poison,” and others, are featured in his live show, along with a mix of newer songs and fan-favorite album cuts. Alice’s touring band features the three-guitar attack of Nita Strauss, Tommy Henriksen and Ryan Roxie, backed by longtime bassist Chuck Garric and drummer Glen Sobel.

Edgar Winter has been celebrated across the globe since his 1970 solo debut, Entrance.  With over twenty albums, top hits “Frankenstein” and “Free Ride,” and numerous collaborative efforts to his credit, Edgar Winter has not been satisfied to ride the wave of popular music stardom. His music is always evolving and he is a master at stretching his skill and imagination to produce amazing results. He continues to thrill audiences with his live performances, always remaining on the cutting edge of music and style. Edgar is now at the very top of his game, and his future looks even brighter than his past.
