Whitesnake singer David Coverdale spoke with BraveWords.com recently about the band's new album, Forevermore, turning 60 and the future of the band. He also spoke about the Donington 1990 live set that will be released in June.

"It’s fantastic," Coverdale remarked. "It’s Steve Vai, Adrian Vanderberg, Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge and myself. I know for a fact that there were 90,000 people, but that was over the licensed limit so we had to put on 72,500 people. Once we started mixing this, it made me re-assess that chapter. It was definitely a different Whitesnake. It’s extraordinarily flamboyant and incredibly flamboyant musically, which it’s impossible for it not to be given that cast of characters. I’m absolutely thrilled that this is coming out to showcase what that was. We played to over a million people on that tour. It was amazing and amazingly successful. I finished that thing because I was worn out of four years of non-stop work and a private life that was in absolute chaos. I filed for divorce, but nobody knew. There’s actually behind-the-scenes footage where we walk off-stage and it finishes at the last show (which I think was Budokan in Tokyo). I had my wardrobe girl burn all my clothes and I said to the band, ‘please don’t be calling me and that I’m going to take some time off’. I told them I was getting a divorce. I came home and it a matter of weeks, I met my wife to be and we’ve just celebrated over twenty years together… amazing. And that Christmas, I got a call from Jimmy Page asking if I’d be interested in doing a project. So, my retirement was pretty short lived.”
