He said: “I can still sing the songs, in some ways even better than I did in the 70s.

“I can still perform them with the same energy that was on the stage back then too.

“I feel that the time is right. It’s fun to get back into character of my days with Purple. I’m looking back at my life and I want to remember the good stuff.

“I’m incredibly excited to perform these songs, as they helped define the genre. I can assure you, the new show is going to blow your mind.”
