The video for Deep Purple’s new song, “Throw My Bones,” has surpassed one-million views. And in recognition of that achievement, the band posted a video of themselves rehearsing the song. The band’s 21st studio album, Whoosh!, will be out on August 7th.
Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover also recently paid tribute to late rock and roll pioneer Little Richard. Glover says, in part, “It may be difficult for younger people to fully understand how Little Richard changed everything; from music to society in general… Not only did he write the songs, but performed them without inhibition; he did for singing what Jimi Hendrix did for guitar… he freed it from its former constraints… The simplicity of his songs belies the electrifying effect they had on people. It may have been fun, but it was serious fun. To me, the twin towers of rock, Little Richard and Chuck Berry, are gone, but their legacy will be felt for eons.”
