Something wrong?The voice that turned Deep Purple into a two-headed soul-rock animal in the '70s - a bassist who sang like he'd been raised in a church choir and a Motown basement at once.

About this person
Glenn Hughes was born 21 August 1951 in England and cut his teeth as bassist and singer in the hard rock band Trapeze before Deep Purple came calling. He joined for the Mk. III and IV line-ups, where his funk-driven bass and countertenor range split lead duties and rewired the band's sound. A brief stint fronting Black Sabbath in the mid-'80s followed, then decades of session work, solo records, and supergroup rotation: Black Country Communion, California Breed from 2013 to 2015, The Dead Daisies from 2019 to 2023. In 2016 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Deep Purple.
