A bit more cheerier news as Deep Purple have announced batches of live shows for the new year. It includes America, Japan and Europe (with some regular venues and a few festivals, nothing in the UK so far) across Feb to July. A lot of the shows also offer VIP Upgrades which include:
- Meet n Greet (sic) with band member (will not include Ian Gillan)
- Photo Op with band members (will not include Ian Gillan)
- 1 Personal Item autographed
- Exclusive VIP Merchandise – To Be Determined
- Commemorative laminate & lanyard engraved with the price you paid for all this
Dates are on our 2023 Deep Purple Diary now started! Thanks to Mark Maddock.

Has ian become too good for us little folks ?

I still find it very strange that Gillan is not a part of VIP. It’s only a few minutes of his life. Can’t be that tough for him.

Ian Gillan’s feeling is that fans should not be charged to meet the group, so it’s partly a stand against that insidious trend.

Don’t thank me…find out which Cnut put me on the mailing list and terminate them with extreme prejudice!
