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's manager apparently let Ritchie Blackmore know that the band will not allow him to take part in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

By this point, the band's personnel conflicts had become almost as attention-getting as their songs.

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.

On the outside looking in: Yes, the Cars and several notable members of this year's induction class.

Cheap Trick, Deep Purple, the Cars, Yes, Steve Miller and Chicago are among the acts newly nominated for possible induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

A pair of Deep Purple's biggest recent live performances are being commemorated with two new concert recordings from the band.

The audience at Whitesnake's June 9 tour stop in Beverly Hills received a welcome surprise when Glenn Hughes, frontman David Coverdale's former bandmate in Deep Purple, stopped by to lend his vocals to a performance of the Purple classic "Lay Down, Stay Down."

If you were disappointed to learn that Whitesnake's new album rose out of a botched reunion effort between former Deep Purple bandmates David Coverdale and Ritchie Blackmore, you may want to stop reading this now, because the project could have been even more tantalizing than we realized.

Whitesnake have unveiled their version of "Burn," which originally served as the title track for a long-ago collaboration between frontman David Coverdale and Deep Purple.
