| Thursday, July 22, 2010 - Glenn Hughes To Tour | Iconic vocalist and bass guitarist, GLENN HUGHES, known to millions of hard rock fans as the undisputed "Voice of Rock" will embark on a 15-date UK tour in September. Formerly the lead singer and bassist of Trapeze, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, and the forthcoming rock supergroup Black Country Communion, Hughes' blistering near-on two hour live extravaganza will consist of an unforgettable career retrospective.
"I'm thrilled to embark on the most extensive UK solo tour of my career," says Hughes. "I've just made an album that I am extremely proud of with Black Country Communion, and until that band goes out on the road, I'm channelling all the power and energy from the BCC experience, into these dates. I'm a lean, mean rock machine."
Today's announcement coincides with the invitation for Hughes to sing with Heaven & Hell at London's High Voltage festival on Saturday July 24th, in a tribute to their front man, the late, great Ronnie James Dio. Lifelong friends, Ronnie often cited Glenn as his favourite male singer, so it is only fitting that the Voice of Rock will be singing in honour of the Voice of Metal.
Best known for his distinctive style that effortlessly blends the finest elements of hard rock, soul and funk, Hughes has worked with Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, the KLF, members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and more recently with Jason Bonham, Joe Bonamassa and Derek Sherinian for his new rock supergroup Black Country Communion. |
