Glenn Hughes has announced a 15-date solo tour of the UK this September. Formerly the lead singer and bassist of Trapeze, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, and the forthcoming rock supergroup Black Country Communion, Hughes' near-on two hour live show will consist of a 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 channeling 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.
