Deep Purple frontman has offered an explanation as to why the current Deep Purple lineup will perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony.

Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan has issued a statement regarding the band's decision to perform with only the current lineup when it's inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April .

Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan isn't happy that some long-tenured members of the current lineup are being left out of the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

There was reason for excitement, given the band's resurrection behind Ozzy Osbourne's first replacement, Ronnie James Dio.

John Gustafson, who memorably collaborated in the '70s with Ian Gillan and Roxy Music, has died at 72.
