Due to a “minor health issue” that requires his attention over the upcoming months, Glenn Hughes, the legendary former bassist and singer of DEEP PURPLE, Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and current frontman of rock supergroup BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, has made the difficult decision to cancel his previously announced 2026 USA tour. The trek was scheduled to kick off on March 27 at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, California and wrap up on May 10 at The Marquee in Tempe, Arizona.
Glenn comments: “I’m taking advice from my medical team, who I am working closely with. Hoping to see you on the road of happy destiny.”
When it was announced last October, “The Chosen Years” show promised to be a dynamic, turn-back-the-clocks, two-hour live extravaganza paying homage to Glenn‘s illustrious career spanning five decades in music — featuring songs from TRAPEZE, DEEP PURPLE, HUGHES/THRALL, IOMMI/HUGHES and BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, some of music history’s most seminal and influential rock and roll groups. Not only that, the shows was also supposed to feature brand new music from Glenn‘s latest solo album, “Chosen”. Joining Glenn on lead vocals and bass guitar were supposed to be Søren Andersen on guitar and Ash Sheehan on drums.
“Chosen” came out on September 5, 2025 via Frontiers Music Srl.
