DEEP PURPLE Bassist Issues Update

May 29, 2007

DEEP PURPLE bassist Roger Glover has posted a lengthy new message on his official web site. An excerpt follows:

"My daughter's album, 'Red Handed', is now officially available and I encourage anyone and everyone to buy it. It goes without saying in way because she's family but I am genuinely impressed with her singing and writing and I believe in informing people about what they might be missing if they don't check it out. It is very hard to promote a new artist these days. Get information at MySpace: gillianglovermusic. The CD is available in stores and online at hmv.co.uk, play.com, or amazon.co.uk. She's had several good reviews, one of which is here: toxicpete.co.uk. However, she needs sales!

"As improbable as it seems, after 40 years of singing, there is still an alarming amount of people who think that Ian Gillan spells his name as Gillian (they are probably the same as those who believe that 'a lot' is one word!). It is a strange irony that my daughter's name is so close to the name of the partnership that Ian Gillan and I had when we recorded 'Accidentally On Purpose'. Oh, and another thing, Gillian is pronounced with a soft 'G,' as in ginger. Just letting you know.

"The DEEP PURPLE British Tour in April was great and a big thank you to all who braved the elements and came out to see us. I managed to meet up with a lot of people and old friends that I haven't seen in a long time. There were a few that unfortunately I didn't get to see but there it is — until next time."
