Glenn Hughes Autobiography
Joel McIver has been working since 2006 on an autobiography with Glenn Hughes, to be published by Foruli Publications.
“We are very excited about this project, and working with Glenn Hughes is an absolute pleasure. The book is Glenn’s autobiography, written with Joel McIver (author of the bestselling book ‘The Truth About Metallica’). It will be a very high quality numbered limited edition with many special features, signed by Glenn and Joel. There will be two versions, the Regular limited edition and a Deluxe limited edition.
We are not divulging further details just yet, but will keep you informed.
If the readers of your website go to www.foruli.co.uk and click on the ‘Contact Us’ link they can add there details to our mailing list and will be the first to receive details of the book.”
thanks to Deep Purple Italia for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Can´t wait…..Sign me up for the deluxe limited edition !!!!
November 26th, 2009 at 12:13I have an audio interview with Glenn where he said that in this book we will get some serious juice concerning ‘TMIB’ that he has never told before… in his words: “this guy is rerally a weird one”, so except s revealation or two about Ritchie, likely stuff we’ll either have to believe or dismiss.
November 27th, 2009 at 18:19Unlike many artists who have seen their best years when young, Glenn is one who has grown to be at his zenith in more mature times. Glenn has seen many challenges; therefore, this book should be very interesting reading.
November 28th, 2009 at 04:50“TMIB” weird ????? That´s probably the understatement of the year! Looking forward to some juicy stuff about the DP days in general, and especially Ritchie´s megolmania in particular! Then again…..I doubt I´ll be surprised at anything he´s done !!! I´ve always suspected him to be borderline……Could be interesting having him diagnosed by a shrink !
His genius as a musician is beyond any doubt…..as a human being….? ROCK ON !

Agreed, plus Glenn hasn’t even performed 1000 concerts in his entire career, so thats helped him on stage in his latter days for sure. I’d say for him its a good thing though, and yes, this book oozes interesting before it even gets published.

You definitely raise an eyebrow there with the shrink idea, in fact if Purple had gone the Metallica route, who knows how things would’ve turned out. But I tend to think Ritchie would do a ‘What About Bob’ and drive a shrink insane just for his own amusement, which is what ‘Bob’ had in mind from the second he met Dr. Marvin, Dr.Leo Marvin. lol!
November 29th, 2009 at 05:53According to glenn on twitter, the rirle of the book is
THE LIFE, NEAR DEATH AND REBIRTH OF A ROCK STAR
should be a cracking read!
December 9th, 2009 at 12:50How much I should pay for the deluxe limited edition ?! Do You know people how much? no no no…I heard about 500euro…SHAME ON ! this is not music.this is not stuff for DP’s Lovers,for Rockers..this is only unuseful stuff…
I don’t need this!
December 10th, 2009 at 16:54The deluxe edition apparently, is silk bound with exclusive prints. Its about 500pounds and limited to 100 copies. AND I WANT ONE!
December 11th, 2009 at 22:02Glen is living in LA ,drives a Jag and wears expensive clothes.Sure he deserves it
December 11th, 2009 at 23:41Does’nt feel concerned with the regular fan,the unemployed guy on the dole living in Europe and trying to survive with 500 euros a month.Sorry ,I m a long time DP ‘s lover but that’s not for me.
Talk about rock credibility..
@ 9
I m with you, Byron…..Unfortunately.
I m one of those fools with a very small income…travelling about 300 kms to watch a Graham Bonnet gig in a small pub and a lousy back up band…..
I might buy a book and let Glenn sign it after a show.
If not…..
I ll we happy to cherish my COME TASTE THE BAND VINYL with his autograph.
Cheers to you, Glenn.

December 19th, 2009 at 13:30Glenn is the man, but he also suffers from a bitt of fuzziness….
It was during the SOULMOVER tour and I soke a bit to him after the gig.
I said I preferred the hammond drowned approach of the albums before the SOULMOVER album.
He said …..Yeah, I agree……
I wasnt that charmed aswell when that overrated drummer Chad showed his naked butt to the audience.
Completely overrated that RHCP band, espescially the singer.
When you are spoiled by athletic performances, IN THE PAST, by people like Dio or Gillan, you tend to see people like Dylan, James Hetfield and this, I forfot his name, man of RHCP as a waste of vocal space.
