Lars Ulrich from Metallica receives his copy (he wrote the Foreward) of the Glenn Hughes limited edition Autbiography yesterday (“Deep Purple & Beyond: Scenes from the Life of a Rock Star“), backstage at the Sonisphere Festival in the UK.
Glenn recalls…
“Lars… the lil’ lad from Copenhagen with his ‘ol mate Hughes book… I met Lars when DP played Copenhagen in ’73… he wanted my autograph. I saw how young he was and went directly to him and his Dad… sweet. My book in Paperback, will be in the stores this October @ a price you can all afford… I love u all… be a nice Xmas present… GH”
Hand binding of all the pre-ordered limited edition sets is well underway, and the publishers expect to start shipping within the next 2-4 weeks.

A ‘tweet‘ message from Glenn and the band…
“Thanks everyone for keepin’ the freak flag flyin’, as I say, we are building a foundation…
