WHITESNAKE - BIOGRAPHY
Whitesnake has a respected reputation as one of the world's leading rock'n'roll bands. Founded and formed by Deep Purple singer David Coverdale, the band have earned multi-platinum albums and multiple top 10 hits worldwide, including 2 number 1 smash hit singles with Here I Go Again and Is This Love, and more recently with Still Of The Night.
Bombast, bravado, talent and passion has established Whitesnake as the perennial platinum favourite they have become.
They return to the sonic fold with a vengeance in 2013 with the Made in Japan live album and DVD ahead of their May 2013 UK arena tour with Journey and special guests Thunder. "Unfinished business" as Coverdale says slyly. "We all wanted the last tour to continue as we got closer to the end. After a year in the studio we're ready to rock on stage again. We're coming back for more."
Harnessing Coverdale's blues and soul roots and fuelled by incendiary guitarists Doug Aldrich, Reb Beach and bassist Michael Devin, you have all the elements that comprise Whitesnake's rock credentials. On the upcoming UK tour Whitesnake will be joined by the Tommy Aldridge on drums and percussion.
