Q&A With Whitesnake's David Coverdale
Whitesnake's official website has added an interview with frontman David Coverdale, where he discussed his shoulder injury and its effect on the band's tour. "A couple of weeks into the tour... around my 53rd birthday... I was onstage in Copenhagen, kicking substantial arse... when I felt something rather uncomfortable happen in my right shoulder," he expained. "Oh dear, I thought... What's this???... After seeing an abundance of specialists I was diagnosed as having tendonitis... and, of course, the preferred treatment is rest... & more rest... Not much hope of that during a tour! Rather than cancel the tour, I decided to try & 'accommodate' the injury, & adapt my performance around it... which of course meant not quite as much mike stand tossing, if you'll excuse the expression."

Coverdale Comments On Deep Purple's 'Burn'
Former Deep Purple and current Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale has commented on the upcoming the 30th Anniversary, remastered edition of Deep Purple's classic 'Burn' album, due on April 14th through EMI Records.
"I just received the test pressing of the 'Burn' remaster from EMI to review," Coverdale said. "I'm not sure about the 'remixes' they have done with an engineer they chose, but the band sounds KICK-ARSE!!! I was surprised to see they are releasing the album so soon as EMI only asked me last week to write the liner notes for the reissue CD booklet. Oh, well... We shall see... I was quite having fun remembering those days. I never really 'think' that far back, and I am always shocked at how much I actually recall once I start thinking about it. There is no doubt in my mind how powerful we were as a band. Just wait 'til you hear it remastered. My assistant and I felt the level was a little 'soft', so we are suggesting they CRANK IT UP!!! After all, this is PURPLE we're talking about!!! I haven't heard most of the songs for many, many years, so they sound fresh and vital to me. Splendid stuff!!! What an extraordinary time in my life."
