Ian Gillan

Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan has issued a statement regarding the band's decision to perform with only the current lineup when it's inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April .

Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan isn't happy that some long-tenured members of the current lineup are being left out of the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

'Jesus Christ Superstar,' featuring Deep Purple's Ian Gillan in the lead role, was released as a two-disc concept album in September 1970.

There was reason for excitement, given the band's resurrection behind Ozzy Osbourne's first replacement, Ronnie James Dio.

The lead singer tends to get the lion's share of the spotlight in rock 'n' roll, but the gig does have its drawbacks, including the question of what to do with yourself onstage while your bandmates are soloing.

John Gustafson, who memorably collaborated in the '70s with Ian Gillan and Roxy Music, has died at 72.

In 2013, the inaugural Guitars on the Beach event collected the biggest single gathering of guitarists playing simultaneously in the history of Britain.

Ian Gillan would rather turn down induction than be forced to be on the same stage as Ritchie Blackmore again.

It's been 20 years since Ritchie Blackmore left Deep Purple, and by all accounts, both he and the band are happier now. Still, some fans will never stop hoping for a reunion -- something that, according to singer Ian Gillan, will never happen.

He actually submitted a resignation letter to the band while still on tour promoting 1973's 'Who Do We Think We Are.'
