Deep Purple Plans New Album in 2019 and Possible U.S. Tour
Guitarist of Deep Purple, Steve Morse, admitted that during 2019 the band will record what will be their 21st studio album. In addition, he hinted at the possibility of a tour of the United States.
In 2017 the British group released "Infinite", which was believed to be their last album, especially because it was associated with a tour called "Long Goodbye".
In an interview given in Anaheim, California, as part of the NAMM Music Convention, Morse also commented that he is still working with the progressive band Flying Colors.
"We are starting two albums, one with Flying Colors and another with Deep Purple," he said. "And I know there are more Deep Purple concerts that have not yet been announced, so do not tell anyone I told you. This year could be the United States, but there is nothing reserved for sure. I'm making a rumor. "
In a previous interview , Morse predicted that his colleagues would continue to work even after the band finally finished his career. "I also plan on staying in music, but not as actively as now," he said. "But you realize that when music for so many years is the most important place in your life, [it is] impossible in a day to abandon it. In general, I know that the boys are not going to retire. They would rather die on stage than in bed."
Singer Ian Gillan said last year that although the band was definitely approaching a retreat, there was still something ahead. "We are so close to the end now, in a year or two, three, four. Who knows? But it's close," he reported.
In another interview, bassist Roger Glover admitted that he was "fearing" the end of the band. "[Deep Purple] has been so present in our lives for 50 years that none of us wants this to end, but we have the certainty that, sooner or later, we will have to stop," he reflected. "I love to continue and make another record. Emotionally, we are not ready to stop, so we could continue for another four or five years."
