Deep Purple shot to international fame with their hit single “Hush” in 1968. The band performed live on the Playboy Show that year. Check them out as you have never seen them before.
In a recent interview with Billboard, Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover talked about how much the band still has left in the tank.
"No one wants to stop," says Glover. "But we know that I'm 71 now, [singer Ian] Gillan is 71, we're all about late 60s, early 70s, and bodies have a way of not keeping up with your brain or your career. We're all sort of approaching that point where I can't imagine another eight years to do an album."
Glover continues: "The time is approaching when it will end, but we don't want to face that. We don't actually want to make a date or a final tour or anything. We just want to carry on as long as nature allows or is kind of dignified. If we can't do what we do anymore, then yes, it's time to stop. But we're still doing it, and we're still enjoying it very much. So all we're saying is the door is closing, but it's not closed yet."
Deep Purple will release their new album, inFinite, on April 7th via earMUSIC.
