Legendary vocalist / bassist Glenn Hughes (Trapeze, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Black Country Communion, The Dead Daisies) will enter the studio in June to record the currently untitled follow-up to his 2016 solo album, Resonate.
Hughes, who is 72 years old, issued the following update via social media:
"Currently at home in Los Angeles, but the road is calling me…
Very busy year ahead, touring Europe & the United States, & more continents, announcing soon. Touring until November 25th.
It’s also time for me to record a GH solo album, to center me, & create new songs.
New music is vital for me, it is the Healer.
I will be in Copenhagen in June, recording in the studio.
It’s time for me to release new music in 2025, and play my solo material and retrospective songs of my career live.
To be present in the moment, and to stay free, is all I (we) need.
Sharing good loving vibrations with you all...
See you soon."
