Former Deep Purple member Glenn Hughes says an unnamed member of the current lineup prevented him from being part of the group's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction performance.
Right after giving heartfelt, emotional induction speeches, Deep Purple took the stage at the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Even as years of eligibility turned into decades, former Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes was certain his old band would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Roger Glover said Deep Purple just wrapped up band sessions in Nashville for the follow-up to 2013's 'NOW What?!' All that's left now is vocal tracking.
It sounds like Deep Purple's long-awaited induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will pass without an appearance from former guitarist Ritchie Blackmore.
