Decadent decades of reptilian fun
Whitesnake Ireland/UK tour dates have been announced. The tour will commence in May 2022 with Foreigner and Europe on the same bill. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday, July 30, 2021, from 9am. Presales, including VIP packages are already open, the password is farewell (the tour is touted as a farewell to Whitesnake). Further details in our calendar.
In other related news, David has also announced another member for his band. His name is Dino Jelusick, and he is a singer and multi-instrumentalist most recently seen touring with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It is not immediately clear what will his role be in the band, but seeing that they already have a full complement of players, our money is on singing parts that Mr. Coverdale can not (properly) do himself any more.
Thanks to Lutz Reinert for the heads up.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Being together on stage with your idol ,the privilege of rare.Dino Jelusick so a lot of talented musician and looks good .
July 29th, 2021 at 10:10And now DC hires another singer, what a loosy end for WS with second rate keyboards and bass and now a croatian singer to replace Coverdale, who didn’t sing much already… I’m sad
July 30th, 2021 at 14:35Kinda related:
The two Coverdales jointly and cutely slithering through a video for the coming Restless Heart 25th Anniv. reissue. Cindy probably said:
“Now Tawny is gone, but I’m still here, you know I’ve been waitin’ for 24 years … and that Jag limousine has to disappear …” ***:

Will now every ex-DP get his very own Ronnie Romero?
August 1st, 2021 at 00:59All that said, let’s give credit where credit is due: DC could have just paid the guy well and stuck him behind a curtain (as Ozzy has done when he couldn’t cut it live), but instead he is frank about it, inviting mockery. I respect that. You know what you’re getting.
August 1st, 2021 at 01:28@2 shame you’re sad – I’m ecstatic to see my favourite band since age 11 for one last time. If you don’t like Whitesnake vintage 2021 just don’t go or but their stuff. Win-Win. Peace (ps my classic Whitesnake will always be DC, Lord, Paice, Marsden, Moody & Murray)
August 3rd, 2021 at 17:35Coverdale probably makes more money on these package tours than playing in smaller venues with just Whitesnake as the main act, but it would have been nice to see a UK tour at 4000 capacity venues with longer sets than the package tours allow (another reason for him to lean towards playing with Foreigner and Europe because his voice probably can’t handle 90-100 mins anymore, which is a shame).
September 22nd, 2021 at 15:43With this new guy, I guess the rest of the band and David can just stay home lol. Happy birthday David!
