Glenn Hughes sends his regrets that he is unable to perform his UK tour which was due to start May 14th through May 24th. He needs to be treated for an illness that, while not life threatening, must be dealt with immediately in order for it to not become a serious problem. He is expected to make a full recovery and be back on the road in June.

Info to follow shortly on tickets via his website here.

For the first time in 40 years, fans in South America will witness Glenn Hughes perform the entire Burn album, plus other Deep Purple MKIII/IV classics live.

Glenn Hughes played his last concert with Deep Purple on March 15, 1976 at Liverpool’s Empire Theatre. That night, the British bassist and vocalist walked away from one of history’s truly game-changing rock phenomena and never looked back... until now.
