Glenn Hughes is a true original. Vocalist, bass guitarist, and songwriter, Hughes has spent decades crafting a sound that uniquely blends hard rock, soul, and funk — all powered by his astonishing vocal range and style. Often referred to as a “singer’s singer,” he once earned the praise of Stevie Wonder, who called him his favorite white vocalist.

Born in Cannock, England, Hughes grew up influenced by British hard rock, the Beatles, and — most of all — American soul and R&B. Motown and Stax/Volt left a deep impression on him, helping form the foundation of his musical identity.

Hughes rose to fame in the early 1970s with the band Trapeze, before joining Deep Purple in 1973 during a pivotal moment in the band’s history. With Hughes and David Coverdale stepping in for Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, Deep Purple released the landmark album Burn in 1974 — a rejuvenation of the band’s sound that stands as a classic. His contributions to Stormbringer and Come Taste the Band further solidified his legendary status.

Following Deep Purple’s split in 1976, Hughes began a long and prolific solo career starting with Play Me Out in 1977. In 1982, he teamed up with Pat Thrall for the acclaimed Hughes/Thrall project. Over the decades, Hughes made countless appearances on albums by artists like Gary Moore, John Norum, and Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath.

From the 1990s onward, Hughes launched a prolific solo run and formed several notable bands including Black Country Communion (with Joe Bonamassa), California Breed, and The Dead Daisies.

Now, after a nine-year hiatus as a solo artist, Glenn Hughes returns with Chosen — a hard-hitting new studio album that presents him at his most explosive and inspired. Produced by longtime collaborator Soren Andersen, Chosen is a masterclass in powerful songwriting and production. It’s Glenn Hughes at the peak of his craft: bold, loud, and unforgettable.
