Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Glenn Hughes — known for his work in Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Black Country Communion, and Trapeze, among other bands — has announced his retirement from touring and live performances. The performance came under the name the Purple Daisies, with a special set devoted half to Deep Purple material. A second show under the banner had been booked for October 2nd, but has since been canceled due to Hughes’ retirement. Hughes has played in a number of legendary rock bands over the more than five decades of his career, including Trapeze, Deep Purple (Mark III and Mark IV lineups), Black Sabbath (Seventh Star album), and Black Country Communion, along with numerous guest appearances over the years. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Deep Purple in 2016.
