During a recent interview with Dubai 92, Deep Purple’s Ian Gillan confirmed that the band have no plans to retire. This news comes after the singer recently floated the idea of retirement while discussing his limited vision.
Gillan said the following:
“Well, no one’s really thought it through. We don’t talk about it that much. And as life gets on, the end is nearer than the beginning, that’s for sure. We all know that. But at the moment we’re getting a lot of joy from what we’re doing. I think the band is rejuvenated since Simon [McBride, guitar] joined us. And so we’re looking a long way ahead. And you don’t make long-term plans if you’re thinking of stopping. So, we’ll see what the future holds. I think probably human dignity is gonna be the deciding factor. Once you start going out and embarrassing people with your inability to do what you’ve done all your life, then it’s time to stop. But until that moment arrives, then we’re going good. And the band is hard and mean and hungry at the moment. I’ve never felt it so tight.”
