David Coverdale returned to the Appetite For Distortion podcast to talk Whitesnake, answer fan questions, and discuss the newly remastered Restless Heart album. Check out  the interview below.

During the interview, Coverdale discussed his retirement plans:

"I planned to retire on the 2020 tour when I was 69; I thought that was the perfect age for Whitesnake to call it a day. But sadly it was not to be, as other events were in store. The T-shirt designs don't resonate as well for 70, but it's mindblowing to me that I'm preparing my farewell tour. And it is, make no mistake. This is the farewell tour. I'm 70, it's a very challenging physical thing for me to do at the best of times, but it's very important for me to achieve completion, and to express my appreciation and gratitude to all the people that have supported me for  five decades. Fifty years.... it blows my mind."

Back in July, Whitesnake announced shows in Spain and France as part of their upcoming Farewell Tour.

The band are confirmed for Rock Imperium Festival 2022, taking place at Parque El Batel in Cartagena, Spain from June 24 - 25. Tickets here.

Says frontman David Coverdale: We are so incredibly excited to announce our participation in the Rock Imperium Festival as part of the forthcoming Farewell Tour... We can't wait to see you and play for you!"

Whitesnake are also booked to play Hellfest 2022, in Clisson, France on June 23. Ticketshere.

Coverdale adds: "We are so incredibly excited to announce our participation in one of Europe’s greatest festivals as part of the forthcoming Farewell Tour."
