It looks like Deep Purple fans might get some new music and more shows this year.
Guitarist Steve Morse tells Andertons Music that the band will hit the studio this year and that "I know there’s more Deep Purple gigs that they haven’t announced yet, so don’t tell them that I told you so... This year it might be U.S., but there’s nothing booked for sure."
Many fans thought Deep Purple might be done with the road because their 2018 tour -- in which they played six weeks' worth of U.S. dates last summer -- was called The Long Goodbye .
