Gab and I are leavin' for London 2nite...the gal needs a lil' vacation, so she is joining me on this trip to London/Spain and Prague. It's been fun being @ home...the weather has been marvellous darlings! So, its curry in London...and rain...and, well you get the picture...we will be all wrapped up in our winter clothes!

I have been enjoying some free time...been hangin' with the Smiths...been watchin' my dogs play in the garden and I have been writin' for my book...AND...some new songs for the next GH album...it will be released in the Spring of 2010.

F U N K is a benchmark achievement...I have raised the bar...I will be writing all next year...compiling all my new songs. Have 4 or 5 that are cookin' @ the moment...it'll be bootilicious and Soul saturated.

May all your dreams come true...may all of your lives be touched by kindness, generosity, and love...I am always with you.

Hi Everyone,

Home again...the calmness of the Palos Verdes Hillside...the amazin' sunrise/sunsets...to wake up in my own bed.

I want to thank all of you that attended my concerts this year. You have all been FUNKed...I love seein' all the energy from you...I feel you. It has been a new beginning...I wanted to push the boat out further into more soulful ground...I challenged myself, I needed to be honest, and I have never been happier.

My sobriety and a conscious contact with my higher power, are paramount to me...they come first...if I have these 2 things in check, then I'm off 2 the races.

Feels like I just won the Grand National....!!

Tune into Rockline on the Radio, or on the web (Wednesday 19th 8:30pm PST/11:30pm EST)...have a slice of F U N K on me.

You know it makes sense.....

Hi Everyone,

What a Summer eh?

It has been a very busy time 4 me, with many stops in the UK, due 2 payin' my respects to Melville and his family....I miss him so much.

So we pick up the pieces and travel on this sojourn that is set out B4 us...God's in Charge, and there are NO mistakes in his Divine world.

I really enjoyed my shows in Norway with Jo Henning and the guys....its a beautiful country that has welcomed me with warmth and love...thanx.

New Zealand was fantastic...I was the only Singer @ a Guitar Festival....great reception, and I wanna thank Sonya and her staff 4 takin' good care of Anders and myself while we were there...never seen so much rain in all my life, hey, and I was born in the rainswept UK!!

Here @ home in LA for the weekend....gonna pop in 2 Toni and Guy and have the new GH haircut this afternoon....all the dogs will be groomed down on Belmont shore 2morrow....yes, when I'm home its all very domestic...just pottering around in the garden, checkin' on the trees/shrubs and flowers that I have planted...I used to watch my Father do the same proceedure as a young impressionable lad...who would have thought I would follow suit??!!

I go 2 Italia next week 2 play with Matteo, that's always fun (love Italy).

So, to all my USA fans, it will be nice to see you on the RRFC camp tour...I will be there to say hi 2 you all....I am really lookin' 4ward to playin' with my band in the States next year, I am rarin' 2 go.

Just remember that I really appreciate all the love that you continue to give me...it is the greatest gift in the world...and I love you back....yep, it's a love thang people.....

Hi Everyone,

I had an amazin' time on Part One of the European Tour....this has been the most rewarding one on many levels....the comaradarie between myself and my band and crew was second to none....lifelong memories people!

I want to thank all my fans who came out and raised the roof everynight......and again, welcome to the new, younger fans....you make the difference.

I have been @ my LA home for a week, now I head back to London this evening for a series of shows in Norway/Germany....then I'm off to New Zealand.

Wherever you are reading this in the world, I wish you love, and that your life is full of amazing experiences, and euphoric nirvana.

Hi everyone,

Don't you wanna get back to the grind!!

Everyday is a new day...another vital experience.

I am blown away @ seein' the young faces in the audience...it shows me that I have made some good choices in my musical direction....listenin' to fans after the shows, and what their take is on the new setist, has really opened the floodgates to move 4ward. After all, being a Solo Artist does come with its advantages, now having a larger selection of material to choose from is Paramount to my vision.

For those of you who have seen the new show...thanx for the beautiful response, some of you had not even heard any F U N K songs until the concert...hugs to you all for allowin' me to grow...this means the World 2 me.

Last night in Budapest there were many new fans, who were not DP fans, they are GH solo all the way....it is so refreshing to know that you are out there, you give me so much 2 look 4ward to.

In life we must be free...some of us don't let go...I want 4 nothin' other than to be centered, and have a conscious contact with my Higher Power...with this, anything is possible....the universe is waitin'.

It aint no fake, it's a way of livin'.

See you.....

We are in Lilehammer, Norway in pre-production 4 the never ending tour. JJ, Luis, Anders, Matt, Carl and my crew are hard @ work rehearsing the the songs. A reminder to everyone...there will a lot of F U N K songs played this year...these songs have re-energised my batteries...never B4 I have felt so invigorated @ the start of a tour...we are all ready to go.
We start on Friday night headlining the festival here in Lillehammer, it is a Classic Rock set. There will be only a few times this Summer where I will switch the set list...only when appropriate. 4 me, the future is the future. So, from Saturday onwards in Oslo, it will be the First Underground Nuclear Tour...this thang is beyond funky...thanx 4 the love.

Hope you are all trippin' to the new toons...we welcome all you new GH fans to the new site...I'll be posting regularly...and readin' your messages...same with MySpace. I'll be answering some of your letters on MySpace as well.

[February 2, 2008]
Hi everyone,

I am very happy to announce the world release of my new album First Underground Nuclear Kitchen... It will be available the first week of May... I am extremely proud of these songs. When I record songs, I never normally play them over and over, but this album is very addictive... I can't stop playin' it...

It is a roots album, it is a true account of my musical heritage... it is an album, that is also fearless... Multi-dimensional... and remember, I never make the same album twice, I'm not one to bask in the past... it is an in the moment record... It's very emotional... I worked some long hours in my home studio... I believe that the hard work has been worth waitin' 4... this is 4 all my fans, and beyond...

This is a deep Musical Statement... God Bless you all...

Hi everyone,

Well, well... I have in my hand the Master copy of the new album... yeah, I've already told you how I feel about it... I'm overjoyed, and I honestly can say that I am overcome with great happiness... Writing songs is the center of my life, and to finally hear the finished Master of the new work has made me realize how far I've come since that Fateful day in December '91... This album is a gift to myself that I want to share with all of you... I will announce the title here and a voice message on my, MySpace page very soon... Also the record company.... we are scheduled for a world release party the 1st week of May...

I wanna thank all of you who attended my mini set @ Namm last Friday night... It was another milestone in live performances... and how much I enjoyed myself and the response was overwhelming... From that show, emails and proposals for future shows and events are already being planned... Glad we played @ Namm, almost didn't do it as I've been so busy. Met a lot of new friends there (you know who you are) some amazin' musicians... We are all family...
Watch this space....I got somethin' cookin' 4 ya!!!!

Hi everyone,

Wow, what a year! It is a time for me to give thanx to my Higher Power, for, one more time, givin' me the gifts to, make music, both on tour and in the studio...

It has also been a time of loss...the Passing of my very close friend Kevin Dubrow, has left a void in mine and Gabi's life... He was, is, part of our family. Words cannot describe how deeply saddened we both are... Like Tommy Bolin, I will honor his name... I knew a very personable, intelligent, generous and hilarious KD... may he rest in Peace...

Wanna thank you the many people who attended my concerts this year: from LA to New York, from Moscow to London, from Rio to Kiev... Thanx for growing with me...

Now... I have just completed my new album... we are mixing @ the moment, and will be mastering in January... I'm always excited about recording new albums, the songs are personal to me, as they are constantly being shaped thru out the year... Well here goes.. I have never EVER had an experience like this B4... this Music is changing my life, it feels like these songs have been livin' inside of me for quite sometime, waitin' for the right moment to be born... These songs are a gift to myself, those that are closest to me are saying that this is my greatest work... simply because I was not afraid to show myself as an artist... and, I really pushed myself as a songwriter, both musically and lyrically to the MAX..

If you want a comparison, there isn't one, but it's in the "Play Me Out, You Are The Music and Feel" vibe... It will change the way I make music for the rest of my life... There is no doubt in my mind, that this work will enable me to become a better person, God wants us all to have our innermost hearts desires, and this is mine... It will be released worldwide in April... It is the greatest high I've ever had, better than Drugs, Food, Sport, and yes even better than Sex...

I got somethin' cookin' for ya...

Hi everyone,

I want to thank all the fans and Media who came out to see my sold out shows in LA and NYC. I was overwhelmed with the reception I received, it simply brougjht me to my knees... I have been touring the world for the last 10 years as a solo artist and was longing to play in the country that I am proud to call home... These shows will set the blueprint for more shows across The USA, I genuinely was taken by the surprise of the intensity and the reaction of eveyone who attended... I wanna thank my brother and Partner Chad Smith, and my band Jeff Kollman, Ed Roth, and Steve Stephens... The shows were soulful, Funked up and Rocked out GH style, and I loved that it was "in the moment" vocal event... I love you my American brothers and sisters, thank you for welcoming me home...

See you very soon in a city near you...
Blessings...

Hi everyone,

I'm on my way to Europe. First up is Kavarna, Bulgaria, where there will be a civic ceremony with the mayor, where I will be given the keys to the city. Then I will play my show in the town square outside. I love my Bulgarian fans and the mayor is a dear friend. Dimtrovgrad, Serbia is the next stop where there will be another ceremony where I will open the theatre that is named the Glenn Hughes Music Hall. It is my first time in this country since Purple. I am really looking forward to it. After that I will be in Italy playing with my friends in the Moonstone Project. I know a lot of you will be coming out to see me and it is going to be fun. I want everyone to enjoy themselves. I have been busy writing songs for the next GH album and I am really excited about this. Life doesn't get any better. It is a time for love. Hope you can feel it.

Hi everyone,

I am in Russia, and wanted to give you all the news about the rumour of a Deep Purple MKIII re-union. As I have been the one that is consistantly being bombarded with the same question over and over again. My answer has always been that there a 5 members, and that at no time have we had a band discussion about a re-union. Yes, David and I flirted with the idea 18 months ago, and since then my brother has fully comitted himself to his love and nurturing of his beloved Whitesnake. For all GH followers, you can all see that my solo career has gone to another level, playing to more people around the world - the popularity and the demand for my activity has risen... David's recent statement has finally put this rumour to bed... Although I would have loved to have seen it happen under the right circumstances, I'm just as happy to let the increbible legacy of the Mighty MKIII remain intact... See you somewhere in concert on the Planet this year...

Hi everyone,

I will be leaving for Rotterdam on Wednesday. I absolutely LOVE singing with a full orchestra, I get chills thinking about it. See you there on Friday evening... My show on Sunday evening in London will also be a special event for me. I have had a great start 2 the year, and this show comes at a wonderful time. The amazing reception we got in Russia and the Ukraine was a turning point in my career.
It's feels good headlining theaters again, I have missed the big stages. The passion and the soul will be carried onto the stage @ Sheperds Bush on Sunday night! I know there will be a lot of you there, it's gonna be funky! The LA and NYC shows are now on sale. America is such an important market for me. I will keep you updated when more shows are confirmed. Please be advised as to get your tickets soon...

Hi everyone,

Firstly I want to thank all of you who have sent messages to me this last week. We are all okay and we really appreciate all your kind thoughts. We spent christmas eve with Chad, Nancy & Cole in Malibu and we just laughed our asses off. We were driving around in a golf cart looking for santa. I hope you all have a fabulous 2007. Once again, I want to thank my higher power for giving me one more day on this earth. I count my blessings, I surround myself with loving people and I get completely lost in my music. As you probably know I am writing all the time. It is my music that sustains me. My sobriety and the gift of music that God has given to me are the greatest gifts. I will be playing in many countries in 2007. They will be posted soon. I will see you on my journey. Please remember to love one another. Peace, brothers and sisters.

Hi everyone,

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you this holiday season...

I took Gab to her office as I was picking her up at 5.00 to go to Chad and Nancy's Xmas party... When I pulled in my drive, the pool man was leaving, so, I go in the house and the dogs were goin' crazy. Then I noticed the debris and saw drawers and clothes even the ashes of Lamont, Simka and Pookie had been thown on the floor out of their little caskets. I found Hughy and Princess hiding under one of the couches. I started to feel sick to my stomach. How could they have got into my fortress? There is a wall and high fence around my property, you can't enter from the road, there is an outer gate that has to be security opened , and then you have to walk thru a courtyard. They got in thru a side door, and left by the patio overlooking the pool, that would be the patio in the mastersuite... they took a lot of extemely valuable jewellry belonging to Gab and myself around $100.000 worth. We are both fine, but feel terribly violated. The police team that took our case were very kind and cordial, let's wait and see what happens, these were were very personal items that my wife and i had given to each other on birthday's and Xmas, like I have said before , there are no mistakes in Gods world, but I can tell you this. In the morning, I have enough security people and surveilance to make our home Fort Knox West...

We are all ok, merry Xmas 2 you all and love one another...

Hi everyone,

Just got back last night to LA. I am really looking forward to the Christmas holiday. In my opinion this tour was an extremely vibrant experience. Mark, Anders and Jeff were all complete revelations to me. It has been such a long time since I felt such emotion singing with my band. The Groove, the Funk... the Soul... all extremely passionate and I love my new band both on and off stage. I will have great memories from this tour. For those of you were there, I hope you felt the vibe. The band really inspired me to new heights. The musicianship on stage deeply spoke to me, and I look forward to the next leg of the tour in February.

There is definatley a buzz going on over there and I really believe M4TD will do really well there. We are setting up a tour in January 2007. I will work Australia as I believe people really "get" GH over there. The new CD is now outselling Soul Mover and to be on the charts especially in the UK is beautiful. a lot of hard work has been put into this album. I am now in full promotion groove. Te music on this album is designed for my self and my fans AND for a wider audience and the demographic that is buying this album is a younger audience. I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will be seeing you on tour in europe soon!

I would like you all to know I spent all of last year writing, arranging and preparing these songs. I spent way more time on this album than any other album of my career. I don't think anybody will argue that this is a turning point for me. A few of my real close friends have been to chad's to listen and they are saying that this album and the vibe is exactly where I should be headed. I can tell you it is a mature album, and more than ever before I can't wait for you all to hear it. We start mixing mid March and the album is scheduled to be released May 29th.

Hi everyone,I just wanted to let you all know that we are really hard at work up at Chad's house in the Hollywood hills recording the new album. As you know I always get really involved in making my music and you may have heard me say this before, but this is without a doubt my finest hour. I have worked really hard and put in a lot of extra time to ensure that the songs are strong. Chad is really a great producer and he is working me to the bone. We wrote a new song on Saturday in the studio that is possibly one of the best songs I've ever written. The album will be finished at the end of the month and we will mix the first week of march. I can tell you this: the album will have the most variety of my musical styles as it is where I am in my life. It is honest, and I believe I will push the boat further. I hope you all enjoy the ride.

Hi Everyone,

As you all know, I'm in Wales recording with Tony, and all is well. The recording is going great. This has been a very, very busy year and most of you can read between the lines and realise that 2005 will be even busier. When I look back at 2004, there have been many learning curves that I have taken onboard. It's very evident that this last couple of years have been building to this point where I have had to take a look at many things, as my schedule has been so crazy. But I will continue to make my world bigger with the gift that I have been given, and once again, I am humbled by this on a daily basis.

I feel so much gratitude for where I am at, at this moment in my life, and I want to thank all of you for your love and support. Soon, Soul Mover will be released and this, to me, is the start of the next phase of my career. I feel very focused, and I'm anxious to play live, as this is where I feel at home.

Hi Everyone,

I am pleased to announce that my album Soul Mover will be released January 24th, 2005 by Frontiers in Europe and around that time by Yamaha in Japan. An American release will follow shortly after that. This album was recorded live at Sound Image Studios in Los Angeles in the Spring of 2004. Chad and I wanted an organic feel as it was necessary to capture the emotion that can only happen when all of us are playing live in the same room together. We were in a semi-circle with the amps bleeding a little into the drums just as I used to record when I first started playing. I want to thank Chad for pushing me to do this. This recording comes at a time when I wanted you the listener, to know more of me as a song writer and singer than ever before. This CD was recorded with a lot of love and passion. Those close to this recording feel it is a ground breaking album and the beginning of the next phase in my life both professionally and personally. I have been humbled by the experience of making this album, quite simply because it is a very honest record, and I want you to know what makes me tick. See you on the Soul Mover Tour beginning February 2005.

Hi Everyone,

Today we shot "Soul Mover", the video for the lead song on my new album. It was great to have my Friends Chad Smith and Dave Navarro perform with me. Dave and Chad's perfor-mance on the video today was absolutely monumentally show stopping. these guys are modern day rock gods. I am very priveleged and honored that they could break away from their busy schedules to appear on my next phase of my career. I have to pinch myself because things are going according to plan. I am really in a good place at the moment and I am glad that I can have loving nuturing friends beside me. The song and video rock and it is going to open many people's eyes. I am on my way to Moscow on Monday and then i shall be in the UK in October to promote my DVD and the Iommi/Hughes CD. I want to thank you all for your encouragement in this, my transformation period.

Roger, Brian, Glenn and others in Las Vegas[September 10, 2004]
Hi Everyone,

I had a blast in Vegas working with Brian and Roger. I really enjoyed singing "Stone Cold Crazy". Great to play with Lukather, Vai, Bettencourt and
Chadilicious, and old friends Eric Singer, Simon Phillips and Meat Loaf. Let me tell you, there was a lot of great vibes up on that stage. The show "We Will Rock You" is a lot of fun and I think everyone should go see it. It brought a tear to my eye. The music of Queen is undeniably brilliant.

Peace,

Glenn

PS More interesting news coming next week.

Hi Everyone,

I was working with Chad and John Frusciante at Sound Image last Friday. We
recorded a special song that will be released next year. It is a mind blower.

On Wednesday I will go to Las Vegas for the premiere of "We Will Rock You". My friend Brian May invited me to come and sing a song with him after the show at the party to celebrate the opening, and I am really looking forward to
seeing him - Brian is a total sweetheart.

Hi Everyone,

We finished recording the album yesterday. I was very honored to have the lovely Dave Navarro play on my album. He was awesome and he put his vibe on the album.

Chad was there to inspire, crack jokes and provide light hearted entertainment as only he knows how. I want to thank them both for their time, and friendship, both of which mean a lot to me.

This album is a mind blower.

Peace to you,

Hi Everyone,

I just spent a great day in the studio with Chad working on some percussion. He and I are both really excited about this album. It will be finished at the end of this month. The album will be released in February. I hope to do some shows in the spring after its release. Meanwhile, the DVD /CD will be in stores in the coming weeks...

Manne Guitars and myself are working on a signature bass guitar. The first prototype was used last weekend in Iowa. The bass is designed by myself and features a classic funk rock sound. It is a work in progress. It will be released
to coincide with my next studio CD next spring. For more information their website is: www.manne.com

Now I will take a few days off to recharge my batteries.

Life is good.

Hi Everyone,

Nice to meet new fans in Chile last week. This week I am back in production on the new studio album where I am working with Fabrizio Grossi and Ed Roth laying down some trippy keyboards. As I said before I will be taking the whole summer in between my shows and trips outside the country to complete this special album. My next trip will be leaving to Budapest next week to headline a festival there on the 10th. On the 11th through the 13th I will be in Prague doing a session, and then I will go to Italy for a show on the 17th in Arenzano, which is near Genova and Milan. I look forward to seeing you all there.

Still can't get over Beckham's missed penalty in the quarter finals...

Hope you all are in great health, spirit and ready to have a rocking summer.

Love,

Hi Everyone,

We are in the final stages of post production on the live dvd/cd. As you might know it is called "Soulfully Live in the City of Angels". I am really excited about this release later this summer. Chad, JJ and I are rehearsing and in pre production for the next studio album. This album won't be released until sometime in 2005. We are cutting live next week. This is the format that trapeze and Deep Purple recorded in. We will record guitar, bass and drums on the same session. I am really looking forward to this. This album promises to be something really special. I will take the whole summer to produce this album as I feel it is an
important one.

[July 20, 2003] Hi Everyone,
I hope you are having a fab summer. It's really hot up here on the hill in Palos Verdes at the moment. As most of you know, over the last 6 months I have made Songs in the Key of Rock, HTPII and most recently Voodoo Hill 2. I have been in the mood to focus in on my rock side. A couple of years ago it was being questioned if I was going to stray away from this format. I have been having a lot of fun writing, producing and performing these albums, but...for those of you who are wondering where the funk and the epic ballads and the acoustic music is, it is right here. I am writing continually all these forms of music and adding them to my library. I am truly grateful that i have been given a gift to write and sing in these styles. As I have said in the press lately, the voice of rock is rockin' again. I will continue to make music that is spontaneous and free. Thank you for joining me on my journey. Thank you for all your posts. I read them daily. I am working this week on finalizing some shows for Europe this fall and I will let you know as soon as I have confirmed dates.

staying always funky,

I was going for a specific sound and I want to thank Jeff Kollman my co-producer for helping me to achieve that goal. For me, this is the most prolific CD I've made since my life changed. The vocals range from intense, raw, emotional and soulful. If you have been a fan of mine from Trapeze to Purple to Hughes/Thrall and the 7th Star album, you are going to love this.

[January 3, 2003] Hi everyone,
Got halfway through the new album and was stricken with a horrid cold over the last week, so I will resume work later this week and will be handing in the mastered CD at the end of the month to my record companies: Pony Canyon in Japan and Frontiers in Europe. The album is called "Songs in the Key of Rock". SIKR was written with a 70's vintage frame of mind. I surrounded myself with 70's stuff: 70's clothes, 70's everything, and I found myself back in 1973. The sounds you will be hearing and the songs are trippy and hard and greased up rock. You can serve this one up nice and hot on the summer barbecue. Look for this in May in Japan and early June in Europe.

Hope everyone will have a happy, healthy and rocking new year. Thanks for your love and support - I love you all (yes, that means all of you)

I have been working hard these last few years, and will continue to do so because I need to sustain my soul. Just want to remind you all that I am very much a heterosexual; sorry if I've disappointed anyone. I do enjoy the company of my gay friends however-and I have been known to be somewhat flamboyant. This is the year 2002 people, anything goes. So c'mon! Get with the program, and have fun, or I'll send JJ over to your house to arm wrestle you! Stay cool, stay funky, and get real. glenn

MESSAGE FROM GLENN!
[April 14, 2002] Hello everyone, I want to thank all of you in Japan and around the world who have bought HTP and made it #1 this month in Japan. The album is doing extremely well in both Japan and Europe. Joe and I are really excited with your response and this has given us much inspiration. We're really excited to go on the road and play live and meet all of you at the shows. These are exciting times -let's all enjoy the ride. Love, Glenn

MESSAGE FROM GLENN!
[April 3, 2002] Hello everyone: it was great for me to see my fans this weekend in Koblenz. I was added to the show late I didn't choose any of the material and was only slated to sing "Manic Depression". It was great to sing with my friends Alex & Bobby, and it was a great ensemble feeling. Possibly this was one of the highlights of my musical career. (this of course in the R&B/jazz style) I have been asked to do more shows with David Garfield and friends and I will continue to do so, so maybe I will get to see more fans who enjoy this style of music. It is getting closer to the time when Joe & I leave for Japan and we are really looking forward to it. I think the review of HTP by Mr. Dome is absolutely hilarious. Nothing freaks me out anymore. I'm actually writing HTP II at the moment.
One day at a time, Glenn

[March 13, 2002] Hello everyone, I have just returned from the UK and had a fantastic time. I ran into some old friends -Mel Galley & Pete Hanysz (you'll notice his photo from our school days) and Tony Perry my Trapeze manager. Saw Malcom Dome on the Sarah Miles show in London and I did a huge interview with Jerry Ewing for "Classic Rock" about Glenn and DP. now I am back in the studio writing some of the best songs I have ever written which were inspired by this trip to the UK. There is a lot going on at the moment. I will keep in touch. lots of love to all of you, glenn

MESSAGE FROM GLENN!
[February 25, 2002] Hi everyone, just want to check in with everybody. I'm off for a little vacation in the U.K. and i want to thank you all for the support on HTP. It's doing really well in Japan, for all those people in Europe, it'll be out the 3rd week of March and for my American fans, we are working on an American deal right now. It is my strongest desire to tour Europe with HTP in September. I am really hoping that this will happen. May life be good to you. Now I'm on my way to see Wolves FC. Glenn

MESSAGE FROM GLENN!
[February 3, 2002] Hi Everyone, For all of you out there who I have met recently at the Bad Co shows, I want to thank you for the love and support and for taking time to say hello to me at the shows. It is always my greatest pleasure, to say hello to my fans. Paul Rodgers and I are friends, and I always enjoy seeing him work. Paul is singing better than ever and looks great too. It was great to see Simon again. We had a few good laughs. And what can you say about Simon? He is tremendous. I got to see some other old friends backstage, and it was a long night but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Life is Good. May Life be Good to all of YOU. Your friend, Glenn

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS FROM GLENN!

I want to wish you all Happy Holidays, and a Soulful Christmas. May the New Year bring you much Peace and Happiness. Love, Glenn"

MESSAGE FROM GLENN!
[January 15, 2002] On January 12th, Glenn sent the following message:

Hi everyone!
I am on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii.
We are taping the VH1 special today and this evening. I have seen a few of my fans from the Mainland here, and received many messages from Hawaiian fans who are coming to the show to see me. I am in great shape, and good mind, and great spirit. Wishing you all the same, Glenn (he who shall never go in the sun again). Next week I am going to swim with the dolphins.

MESSAGE FROM GLENN!
[December 20, 2001] "Hi everyone, just to clear things up once and for all; I took it upon myself to get to Florida while I was ill, in the hopes that I would be able to perform. I had already been taking medication. By Friday lunchtime I could not swallow, let alone speak. A doctor came to see me at my hotel room at the Hard Rock and told me that I had a severly infected throat and flu. He then proceeeded to stick a 10 inch needle into my left buttock, and instructed me not to speak for 7 days. It pains me to cancel ANY show in ANY country. I knew this cancellation to my American fans would a crushing blow, but not more than it was to me. If you only knew how much I wanted to sing for you, you probably would understand a little. to those of you who are really angry at me, I'm sorry. My fans and the people who like my music are important to me. For the last 10 years I've been building a credible fan base and if you have ever met me you know I am not a deceitful person. I only hope that one day I can make it up to my fans by doing a show for you and having the chance to meet you in person. For those of you who may still be angry at that time, I can only hope that you never have the illness that I am still suffering from, and that you can find some sort of peace in your heart this holiday season. With much love, Glenn"

MESSAGE FROM GLENN!
[December 16, 2001] "As you all know I was struck with the flu this last week, but I went to Orlando as scheduled on Thursday hoping that I would feel better by Friday afternoon. I had to have a doctor come to see me at my hotel and medicate me and he told me at that time to take the rest of the year off. I was very disappointed. I hope to make it up to you and see you sometime next year. Your messages of concern for my well being were very touching. Thank you very much, Glenn"

MESSAGE FROM GLENN!
[December 1, 2001] "Hi Everyone,
I am back from a successful trip to Russia and on my way to Vegas together with the Voices of Classic Rock. Looking forward to seeing some of you there on Monday night at the House of Blues. I'd like to express my sadness at the passing of George Harrison. George was very kind to me in the early Trapeze years. We were recording at Apple Studios in London and he let me borrow one of his bass guitars. He was very inspirational to me as a musician but more importantly, in the spiritual path that we have both taken. Long live the Beatles. Life is too short.
Glenn"

MESSAGE FROM GLENN!
[November 20, 2001] "Hello everyone,
first of all I want to say thank you to all my South American fans for all your tremendous support. You are all crazy. To all my Russian fans, I am looking forward to seeing you this weekend. I'm in the mood to rock. Now, to all my American fans, my shows at the House of Blues in Vegas December 3rd with VCR and my solo performance at the Orlando City Walk December 14th are special to me as they will be the last concerts for me this year, and the Orlando show will be a special mini-set. I hope to see as many of you at these shows as possible. I look forward to meeting all of you.
God Bless You,
The Rock n' Funk Pontiff"

MESSAGE TO SOUTH AMERICAN FANS!
[October 27, 2001]As is mentioned below Glenn is to play some shows in November in South America with the Voices of Classic Rock. Here is Glenn's message to his fans there.

"To all my fans in Brazil, Lima and Bolivia:
I am really looking forward to seeing you. I have a lot of friends and fans in Sao Paolo and Brazil and I hope to meet new fans in the other cities I will be going to. Make lots of noise and let me know you're out there! And remember, I am a crazy soccer fanatic. Love and Peace to All of You, See you in the World Cup,
Glenn"

UPDATE FROM GLENN!
[October 5, 2001] Hello Everyone! I have just been to the www board and I want to let you know that all your great reviews of BTM and your support really mean a lot to me. I have been getting great reviews from the international press, but to know that my fans love and appreciate this album means an incredible amount to me. Thank you for your support,
Big G.

UPDATE FROM GLENN!
[September 29, 2001] Hello Everyone!I have been talking to the world press the past 3 weeks and I am really moved that in their opinion that this is the best solo CD that I've done. I am finally being recognized as an artist who has been allowed to incorporate funk and soul into rock. It has given me great confidence, and I am humbled by it. Thank you all for your great personal reviews, as I read the message board in the morning before going in the studio.

The Christmas CD will be available again this year ready to order the first week in October. The first 50 CDs are signed by me, and enclosed you will find a used pick from the BTM sessions. As you know, I use a lot of picks.

And, like last year, a portion of all sales will go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

"You can call me Papa or you can call me 'G'"

UPDATE FROM GLENN!
[September 16, 2001] "Hello Everyone! I hope all my fans and their families and friends who might be in New York or Washington, D.C. are all safe. The events of last Tuesday have deeply saddened me and my family. It has been almost impossible to work this week.

Joe (Lynn Turner) was able to arrive last night, so we will start working today. The album (the Hughes Turner Project) will be recorded starting next weekend. We are both really excited about it. No one has recorded the 'two lead singers' album in years; maybe since David and I, so it is going to be special.

I am overcome with deep gratitude from the reviews by music critics and fans for BTM. Everyone seems to agree that this is the best GH solo album-this is their favorite. And, with this week's events, the song 'Big Sky' takes on a whole new meaning. My music has always been about the human condition and emotions. I hope BTM moves you like it moves me.

Love, Peace and Soul, your friend and brother, Glenn."

UPDATE FROM GLENN!
[August 27, 2001] "Hello everyone! This is the week I start press for BTM, and finish up songs with Joe. The reviews so far have been the best of my career. I deliberately haven't given too much information about this album. I have let it speak for itself. I live in these songs, so sometimes it is hard to describe what I am feeling in words, but if you are a Glenn Hughes fan, you will totally understand this album. It is a fresh buzz of GH rocka-funka-soula. You're gonna dig it. Regards from the Funky side, Big G"

UPDATE FROM GLENN!
[July 31, 2001] "Hi Everyone. As you well know, the album 'Building the Machine' will be out September 24th in Europe and Japan. I haven't been given a release date for the USA yet. BTM is a very emotional album. I think you will find it a record that you want to listen to over and over again. I haven't felt this good singing in the studio since Trapeze. It is very real, emotional, and very raw. I can't wait for you all to listen to it.

I will be playing with VoCR at City-Jazz in Orlando, Florida, USA, on August 12th. This is for the WMMO Rockforever Charity Golf Classic. There are limited tickets available via ticketmaster or universal.

On August 16th VoCR will be playing at London Ontario Racetrack in London, Ontario, Canada. On the 17th of August we play at the Sarnia Racetrack in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. I will be joined by Pat Travers, Joe Lynn Turner, Pete Rivera and Alex Ligertwood, just to name a few. It was really great to see so many of my fans the last time I was in Canada. I hope you can make it this time too. Remember that we record live all the VoCR concerts for downloading on the rockforever.com site. Big Daddy needs your support. Miss you, look forward to seeing you on the road somewhere. /G

UPDATE FROM GLENN!
[July 15, 2001] "Hi everyone. I hope you all are enjoying your summer, wherever you are. While i was in New York a few weeks ago to do the WPLJ radio show with Voices of Classic Rock, Gabi joined me. She & I went shopping in Greenwich Village and saw a beautiful long-haired chihuahua puppy. We fell in love with her, and after much discussion over whether or not we should get a dog, we got her and brought her back to LA with us. Her name is Lily Penelope Hughes. So my days have been filled with house training and being a new 'Dad'.

I leave for 3 shows in Canada next week. I hope to see some of my fans -please make yourself known. I will be joined by a VOCR lineup of Pat Travers, Bobby Kimball, Joe Lynn turner, Mike Reno, John Cafferty, and my old friend, Spencer Davis.

On August 5th I will be guesting with Mountain, my friend Leslie West's group. When I was in Trapeze this was one of my favorite bands. I shall be singing a Mountain song and a classic Purple song that will be recorded for DVD and a live CD. This will take place at the Westbury Music Festival in New York. I will give you more details as I get them myself.
(Note: This gig has been cancelled since then! See below.)

I have been busy finishing up songs for HTP (Hughes Turner Project). This album will be recorded in LA the month of September for release early next year. Hope to see you in Canada! May life be good to all of you.

Your Friend,

Glenn, father of Lily."

BACK HOME AGAIN!
[June 12, 2001] "Hello Everyone! I am back home, after a long journey. Despite the fact that this tour was plagued with production and technical difficulties as well as sickness for me and my band from Hardenberg onwards, I was fortunate that most of the shows were run smoothly and with good health. I was told by my doctor to cancel all shows after Hardenberg as I had a running fever as well as a heavy cold, but I just could not do this.

I connected with many more fans in different and new markets, and this was really a success for me. I enjoyed meeting everyone, and would like to thank you for your generosity. As usual your support is much appreciated and at times overwhelming. I love it!

Now I am at home, and I still have a cold, so I will be spending the rest of this week taking it easy and recovering. But rest assured, I will be back to work before you know it.

Stay Funky

the Funkiest of all Funkmen, Glenn

MESSAGE FROM GLENN!
[May 17, 2001] "Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that i have been very busy getting ready to do the European tour. JJ arrived on Tuesday and we began rehearsing.

"Hi everyone! I would just like to say hello 2 you all, and let you know that the dates are all now confirmed 4 my Euro tour. Paris, La Locomotive is May 29, and Hamburg Logo replaces Berlin on June 5. I'm really looking forward to these shows, make yourselves known, and make some noise!! /Glenn

GLENN COMMENTS THE US DATES!
[March 29, 2001] "Hi Everyone! I am sorry it has taken me most of the week to get back to you and thank you for all the great comments and reviews on the www board. I must tell you that I get so into my shows and the songs and performing and I want to meet everyone at every show, so it takes me a few days to come down. But here I am now! It was great to talk to Gabi from the road after the Birch Hill gig and hear about all the love that was on the website. Every day she would call me and read the reviews. Pretty soon the band was listening in and wanting to know everything that you thought. It was great! I just want to say thank you to all my fans who were able to make the shows. I know that many of you traveled a very long way and I am extremely touched. This past weekend was very special for me, and you all made it more so with your outpouring of support, and I can't thank you enough." Glenn

UPDATE FROM GLENN!
[March 11, 2001] "Hello Everyone! Today is my last day in the studio. We are finishing the mix tonight. As you know I am always very excited when I have completed a new solo album. But I firmly believe this is my finest hour as a solo artist. It is the most well-rounded album that I have done. It is a rock album that is influenced with the rock funk style that is Glenn Hughes. This CD is very melodic and features also a couple of acoustic tracks. My vocals on the album are heartfelt with raw emotion and intensity. On Wednesday evening, March 14th, I will be on national radio-check your local listings for "Rockline". In Los Angeles this will be on KLOS 95.5 FM. I will be appearing with Bobby Kimball, Joe Lynn Turner, Mickey Thomas, Pat Travers and John Cafferty. As you all know, I am the "new guy" in the group (The Voices of Classic Rock). We will be talking and maybe even singing. We will be taking phone calls live on the air. Since Joe is in town, he will stay at my house Thursday & Friday so we can write. Joe & I are commited to making a record together this summer. Next weekend I will be in rehearsal with Brian & George and we leave for New Jersey on the 21st. I'm comin' to get ya."
/Glenn

UPDATE FROM GLENN ABOUT THE US TOUR!
[March 7, 2001] "Hello everyone, I have been very busy and I know you are patiently waiting for news from me, so here it is! As regards the shows I am to do in the USA, I will tell you now that I am confirming the shows in New Jersey, Virginia and New York. At this time I do not have tour support from my record label, but I want to play, and I will do these shows with or without their help.

If they do not get me support for the remaining shows, I will be forced to cancel them. At this time, I would advise my fans in the cities of Chicago, Attleboro and Ft. Lauderdale to abstain from buying tickets. As much as I love to play, and as much as I love to see my fans, I am not able to financially fund a whole tour by myself.

As you can imagine, this causes me much distress, but I feel confident that you, my true fans, will understand the constraints I am under. I look forward to meeting all the fans that are sticking by me and buying tickets to these three shows. The shows and my fans are very important to me. Joining me on stage will be: George Nastos on guitar and Brian Tichy on drums. For those who are familiar with Brian, his most recent tour was with Ozzy on Ozzfest 2000. He has played with Stevie Salas, Zakk Wylde and Slash. He is a monster drummer, and I am really looking forward to having him on board. I chose George because it would appear to me that you want a little funk. So Iam going to bring it to you. Once again, I thank those of you who for months, not to mention years, have stood by me. I will see you at the meet 'n greet at the gigs."
/Glenn

UPDATE FROM GLENN!
[February 18, 2001] "Hello Everyone! This has been a very busy time for me! Today JJ, Ferg & I go into the studio to rehearse for the new album. We will start recording on Tuesday. JJ has been staying with me this week, and we have been writing some great songs that I am very excited about and I think my fans will love. I think this will be a classic rock CD. I want to thank everyone who writes on the www board. I read it every day and I want you to know I'm listening! Now, about the tour. I know everyone is asking questions and wondering when dates will be confirmed. My booking agent is working his ass off to get me dates. As this is my first solo tour in the USA, this isn't as easy as you, my dear fans, may think. As I have said to you before, I really want to play in the country where I live. This is where my career took off with Trapeze, and I see great things happening in America. Whether the tour ends up being 3 days, or 300 days, I will play them all. Fans in Europe, Japan and South America will also be paid a visit by Papa this year. I hope everyone is enjoying the video. I am really proud of it. Life just keeps on getting better and better. May life be good to all of you! Come and say 'hi' to me on tour. Until then, Stay Fun(ky), Glen

UPDATE FROM GLENN!
[January 8, 2001] Here is a new message from Glenn:
"Hi Everyone,
first I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I would like to thank everyone who bought the Christmas CD. Pink Cloud will be taking orders until January 19th, and then it will become available again toward the end of the year. "Days of Avalon" video and the Making Of is being released February 1st. I want to tell you again how happy I am with this project. It is the first official Glenn Hughes documentary and I hope you all enjoy it. The American tour is coming together. As per usual, I will let you know the dates of my shows and the cities I will be in as soon as I know them myself. If any of you LA area fans happen to be going to the NAMM show at the Anaheim convention center, you might see me at the Vigier guitar booth! This event is January 18-21st. My friend Ronnie Montrose is doing a show at the Phoenix in Anaheim and has asked me to sing a few songs, and I am really looking forward to that. If you are at the NAMM show, see if you can get passes to this show. It is being sponsored by Baker Guitars.
Thanks for your support,
Glenn"

UPDATE FROM GLENN!
[December 10, 2000] "Hi Everyone! This week I was asked to perform with Ronnie Montrose at the Mark & Brian KLOS Christmas show on December 15th. The song is from Ronnie's new album, "Ressurection Shuffle". I hope all my fans will be able to tune in to 95.5 FM to hear me, or better yet, call KLOS and try to win tickets to the Wiltern to see the show yourself! The lineup includes Rick Springfield, Great White, Randy Travis & David Coverdale. Marc Bonilla is the musical director. This is the second time I have performed at this event, and I always have a good time. This was a sad week for me and many other friends of Bill Eskridge, as he passed away on Thursday. I was by his side at the end. Yesterday I sang 'Coast To Coast' at his funeral. As you know, the Christmas CD was Bill's idea and this was his 'pet project' and I am very thankful that he was able to hear it before he left us. Be good to one another this Holiday Season. Let Love in. Peace, Glenn"

GLENN TALKS ABOUT THE EURO TOUR!
[October 30, 2000] "Hi everyone. This week JJ arrived at my house from Sweden and we have been in the studio rehearsing with Ferg. The band sounds tight.

I am very excited about the tour and I am looking forward to seeing all of my fans. Until then, take it easy.
/Big G."

We are hoping to record the album in December, after my tour. I'm going out as a trio on the European tour. I wanted the sound and vibe to be in-your-face with a heavy funk back beat, extremely live and energetic. You'll see JJ, Ferg and I on this tour. I hope to see as many of you as can make my shows in Germany, Belgium and in England. I am working on getting more shows. If this happens, you will be the first to know. Thank you so very much.

GLENN COMMENTS THE TOUR SCHEDULE
[August 7, 2000] "Hi Everyone! Thanks for all your messages this week. I would like to make sure that everyone understands one thing: if it was up to me, I would be on tour 6 months a year in every city you can think of, in every country you can name. However, this is not the case. My tour dates and schedule are left up to my mangement, my agent and my record company. I am doing all I can to exend the R.O.C.K. tour. I only go on-line and tell you dates that are confirmed. I do not want to leave you with misinformation & unconfirmed rumors on my web site. No one is hurt more than I am when I do not perform on stage. There are many markets I want to play on this tour. Please keep your fingers crossed! I hope to see you all soon. Until then, Stay Fun(ky) /Big G."

BUSY TIMES!

NEW UPDATE FROM GLENN!
[May 20, 2000] ""Hi everyone! I have just returned from New York City, where I have been working with Pat Thrall, and I can tell you all this: The new Hughes/Thrall is going to blow your mind! That's all I can reveal at this time. As cool as the first Hughes/Thrall was, this is equally, if not more, important. This weekend, I am shooting film for a video as well as a "making of" the video for the song 'Days of Avalon' off of R.O.C.K. The video will be shot at a soundstage in Hollywood, at the beach, at my home, and one more location TBD. I think you will be blown away by the scale, scope, and overall production of this film. More on this next week. I am off to a session with Marc Bonilla. Stay Fun(ky),

GLENN AT MEMORIAL CONCERT
[April 30, 2000]

"Hi everyone,

I returned home to LA late on Wednesday night.

The following day, I sang at a memorial concert for a friend who had passed away from breast cancer. There were many artists performing at the event at The Celebrity Center Pavillion in Hollywood, including Stevie Wonder.

I sang "Things Ain't Like They Used To Be," the song I recorded with Niacin last year. The band members included Billy Sheehan and John Novello (whose late wife, Gloria Rusch, and Stevie's vocal coach, was being remembered). It was a beautiful, spiritual evening, and the audience were really receptive. After performing our song, we were given a standing ovation, and I noticed Stevie was on his feet clapping and joining in.

After our performance, Stevie sang "Overjoyed," "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life," and "I Just Called To Say I Love You." He was a real close friend of Gloria's, and it was really moving. I was overcome with emotion the whole evening. I believe moments like these are life-changing ones.

I was especially touched by my friend John Novello, who played keyboards like a god and was truly an inspiration to me in the way he held himself together. He is my new hero. God bless you, John. Gloria had heard a song that John and I were writing last year, and she started to write some words, but never finished them. John asked me if I would finish them in honor of his wife, and I, of course, said yes.

When I have received the photos of the evening, I will let you all capture the moment with us.

I am really tired. I am on a break at the moment. I will be in New York with Pat Thrall May 11 to 18. Promo turned out great in Europe. All the reviews on "Return Of Crystal Karma" have been incredible. The best so far of any CD I've released.

A new Glenn"

GLENN IN ITALY#2!
[April 19, 2000] "Hi everyone! I'm here in Milan, doing press, and hanging out with Roberto. I'm totally exhausted, with a real bad case of jet lag. Believe it or not, I hate doing promotion. "Vaffanculo." It's stupid talking about music; I just like to sing and play it. The Italians are very appreciative and kind. Long live Italia!
Glenn..." [more...]

GLENN IN ITALY #1!
[April 17, 2000] "Hi everyone! I am here in Italy. I have just finished recording with Dario Mollo. The session went very well. The CD titled "Voodoo Hill" will be released in October. Today I will go to Monte Carlo to do a little shopping. I wish all of you lots of love. Life is good!
Glenn......."

MESSAGE FROM GLENN!
[March 28, 2000] "Hi everyone! There are lots of things going on at the moment. I will be in Florida next week. The following week, I will be in Italy recording with guitarist Dario Mollo. I feel it is extremely necessary to express myself in a format which gives me "life," and that is through making music. Dario sent me some demos, and I liked what I heard. Once again, I will be giving a new "twist" working with another artist. I have written the songs and will record them 14-17 April in Italy. I will then stay in Europe and do promotion. I am scheduled to shoot a video in Los Angeles on 29-30 of April. We are lining up some live shows for the summer; I will keep you posted on this matter. R.O.C.K will be released June 21. Hughes/Thrall is a work in process. Hans and myself are writing the continuation of the Funk/Soul/Jazz trip, which is OBVIOUSLY where I will find myself on my musical voyage. There is music being made, and I'm swimming downstream, heading for universal love!!!
Be good to yourselves,
Glenn..."
