Deep Purple Extends Tour Despite Vision Struggles | Music News

Deep Purple just announced they’re extending their world tour until November 25th next year, adding over forty new dates — proving they’ve got plenty of gas left in the tank after dropping their latest album, Splat! Frontman Ian Gillan, who recently hinted at retirement due to vision issues now down to 30%, is still on the road, adapting by using peripheral vision to read his laptop. The band’s sixth Bob Ezrin-produced album has already hit the UK Top Twenty, and they’re bringing in special guests like Kansas and Jefferson Starship for select shows — showing that even with personal hurdles, Deep Purple’s music keeps them going strong.
