Summary

Singer/bassist Glenn Hughes is the ultimate British gentleman, and is now one of the newest members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame thanks to his stellar work with Deep Purple! And those are some of the stories he's telling - from his Purple audition to his relationship with David Coverdale to their infamous set at Cal Jam (complete with smashed up guitars and exploding amps) to Ritchie Blackmore's departure. Glenn's also talking about his short run with Black Sabbath, his battle with drugs and alcohol, the four months in the 70s that David Bowie lived with him, what really went down at the Meadowlands in 1986, and the heart attack that saved his life.
