Hi guys, I guess by now a lot of people have read todays press statement from my brother Glenn Hughes about the March dates being rescheduled due to his knee replacement recovery.
First I want to wish Glenn GodSpeed to full-power as we all want him 100% in dance mode when he returns. I know Glenn is pretty bummed and we all need to support him now.
Unfortunately, the rescheduled dates mean I won’t be able to do the US with Glenn as planned. We had both agreed that after March Glenn would return to his previous solo band with my full blessing.
I think with Glenn deservedly getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April, it’s actually perfect that the focus of Glenn’s live shows should be on Glenn, without my name on the bill.
Thank you very much to all of Glenn's fans that graciously supported me during the last 7 months. It was a f@cking blast to go onstage as the trio I liked to call HughesForceOne. Playing with Glenn and Pontus was some of the funnest moments I’ve ever had on stage. My only regret is that the US fans wont get to see how fierce it was with the chemistry of the three of us. Playing live we would stay within the structure of the song but we had some stellar jams! It was a nice chemistry.
I’m sorry to all my friends that made arrangements to come see me with Glenn. I know some of you went to great lengths to come see the show and I would like to ask you to go in August to support Glenn. His talent is from another planet!! Go see him if you can, you wont regret it.
So, at the moment I'm held up in Nashville working with The Dead Daisies on their 3rd record and we are doing great work here. Marti Frederiksen is producing. Its gonna be something pretty mind-blowing I promise.
At the end of the Feb Ill be in LA finally finishing my Burning Rain Band writing sessions, and will most likely recording in March since I'll be home. There is a possibility that maybe I can do a few shows at some of the west coast clubs that I was going to be at with Glenn but we are still checking on that. Brian Tichy Official and I talked about putting a trio together and throwing down as a tribute to Glenn.
In late March or early April , I’m looking forward to returning to the Raiding The Rock Vault show at The Tropicana in Las Vegas. We are finalizing those dates now and I can’t wait!
The Dead Daisies will be the feature band at Musikmesse in Frankfurt Germany this April 7-10 so if you are in Europe come out as it will be my first shows with them.
Looking forward to seeing you all down the road sooner or later.
