"Original Deep Purple" Reunion Rumour
From Wymer UK:
Just gossip at the moment but…
Last night Radio London claimed that the “original” Deep Purple line-up will reunite later this year for three shows at London’s O2 Arena. This was apparently reported on Danny Baker’s show and said that it would include Ritchie Blackmore! Although the report said the original line-up it more than likely means the classic MKII but beyond what is written here we truly don’t know anymore as of yet.

Re: "Original Deep Purple" Reunion Rumour
it may have some weight as record companies have renewed interest because of the jag advert in the uk.

Re: "Original Deep Purple" Reunion Rumour
If this is fact not fiction, I would have thought that with 3 nights at the 02 Arena, this venue would have already been booked.
Are we really saying we want to spend our hard earned cash to see two guys who hate each other with a vengance, one of whom is constantly criticised on this (and other) forums for his vocal performance, the other who hasn't picked up an electric guitar in anger for about 10 years, perform songs everyone says they're sick and tired of hearing!
I'm really not sure there would be "renewed record company interest" from a 20 second sound bite on a TV commercial. There is very little money to be made from album sales these days and record companies would want a heck of a lot more than a 3 night stint in the Docklands!
If it happens (and stranger things have happened) that should be the end of it. No more tours, no more albums, no more Don Airery & Steve Morse (that'll please some people!)
Got to go now, my flock of pigs need to be let out for their morning flight!

She's right, except that she has just the right to shut up.

Re: "Original Deep Purple" Reunion Rumour
When I saw Jon on April 5th he was asked about an anniversary reunion and said that if something happened for the 40th anniversary of MkII next year he would be up for it. Why would he say that if something was being set up for this year?

Re: "Original Deep Purple" Reunion Rumour
I wonder if Jon isn't a bit fed up about the whole thing.
His idea of all members past and present getting together would have been a good idea.
An album with perhaps solo contributions from all members and then NEW numbers from each incarnation of the band would be worthwhile. They could back this up with a few shows somewhere and retire happily on the sales of the album and the resulting DVD, Video Game, clothing line etc.
Can't see it ever happening meself!

I really hope it's true!!!
I firmly believe that they, MKII, still could do it with ease!!

Carole Stevens need to shut her fat mouth for once. She's nothing but a liar, and she can't be trusted in any ways whatsoever! That's facts coming from people who used to work closely with her until they discovered what a f...ing c..t she really is!
