Deep Purple frontman has offered an explanation as to why the current Deep Purple lineup will perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony.

By this point, the band's personnel conflicts had become almost as attention-getting as their songs.

On the outside looking in: Yes, the Cars and several notable members of this year's induction class.

Cheap Trick, Deep Purple, the Cars, Yes, Steve Miller and Chicago are among the acts newly nominated for possible induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

If you were disappointed to learn that Whitesnake's new album rose out of a botched reunion effort between former Deep Purple bandmates David Coverdale and Ritchie Blackmore, you may want to stop reading this now, because the project could have been even more tantalizing than we realized.

Whitesnake have unveiled their version of "Burn," which originally served as the title track for a long-ago collaboration between frontman David Coverdale and Deep Purple.

David Coverdale will return to his time as lead singer for Deep Purple during their Mark III and IV eras for an upcoming album with Whitesnake.

Accompanying this morning's announcement of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2015 induction class was the usual head shaking and open-mouthed disbelief that some of classic rock's oldest and most worthy bands were passed up once again.

Ian Gillan would rather turn down induction than be forced to be on the same stage as Ritchie Blackmore again.

Deep Purple will officially issue the 'Graz 1975' concert, long considered the best-ever from its Mk III edition.
