DEEP PURPLE's Roger Glover - "Although JON LORD Left The Band Eleven Years Ago, His Presence Has Deepened Since Last Year"
October 1, 2013, 11 years ago
DEEP PURPLE bass legend Roger Glover has issued the following update in memory of late keyboard legend JON LORD who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer at age 71 on July 16th, 2012.
From an inspired idea by Steve, it grew into a most unusual song, unlike anything we’ve done before. Writing about the death of a friend can be a minefield of cliché or maudlin sentiment, but I’m proud of what we accomplished with the song.
Now looking forward to the British dates and the rest of the tour around Europe and on."
