Iconic vocalist and bass guitarist Glenn Hughes, known to millions of hard rock fans as the undisputed "Voice of Rock," will embark on a 15-date U.K. tour in September. Formerly the lead singer and bassist of TRAPEZE, DEEP PURPLE and BLACK SABBATH, and the forthcoming rock supergroup BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, Hughes' blistering nearly-two-hour live extravaganza will consist of an unforgettable career retrospective.

"I'm thrilled to embark on the most extensive U.K. solo tour of my career," says Hughes. "I've just made an album that I am extremely proud of with BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, and until that band goes out on the road, I'm channeling all the power and energy from the BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION experience into these dates. I'm a lean, mean rock machine."

In keeping with the tradition of the classic British hard rock vibe that he has focused on with BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, Glenn's new solo touring band has a harder, more direct rock approach than previous incarnations.
