Chosen years in South America
A Glenn Hughes’ South American tour has just been announced for November 2025. The São Paulo date on November 16th has been on sale for a while, and listed in our calendar as unconfirmed. It is confirmed now, along with 10 more shows in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, albeit the last one with an asterisk.
Curiously, the tour is billed as The Chosen Years in English, but local promoters advertise it as Turnê/Tour de Despedida, which in Portuguese and Spanish means The Farewell Tour. Take it with a grain of salt, it’s not the first time promoters took to gimmicks to boost sales.
Promo blurb reads:
The shows promise to be a dynamic, turn-back-the-clocks, two-hour live extravaganza homage to his illustrious career spanning 5 decades in music – including songs from Trapeze, Deep Purple, Hughes/Thrall, Iommi/Hughes and Black Country Communion – some of music history’s most seminal and influential rock and roll groups. Not only that, the shows will feature brand new music from Glenn’s upcoming solo album due for release in Summer 2025.
Glenn comments:
To all my fans in South America : This is a very special tour for me, and I’m thanking you for all the years of your incredible LOVE and support. You have my heart. I can’t wait to be with you ✌️
As well as Glenn on lead vocals and bass guitar, the touring band features Soren Anderson on guitar, and drummer Ash Sheehan.
Full details in our calendar.
Thanks to Coast to Coast and Daniel Bengtsson for the heads-up.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Well Ian Gillan said clearly that the promotors were behind the name Farewell Tour idea when promoting The Infinite tour so it’s not a crime to play with words.

Peace ✌️
First of all: I have NOTHING against Glenn H, but I found this, completely by accident, on YT!

Is this finally the long awaited last breath of Glenn “Turn Back The Clock” Hughes? I won’t be complaing. Good riddance!

February 25th, 2025 at 17:34all those songs are on the Ian Gillan cd “cherkazoo and other stories..”.
I like it
🍷 cheers
“completely by accident”
How forgetful wimmin are … 😤
No you didn’t, Karin, I posted it here at the HS for you WEEKS AGO and you even made jokes about it and quipped that Ian must have been very young when he recorded it! Actually it is from 1974 – post his first split from DP – and sees him emulating Phillysound with great results. (Not ‘Motown’ again, dear Editors, even though it is three black women singing! 😋)

It’s one of my favorite IG songs, no joke. I liked Phillysound and a lot of Disco too.

Why Carina?
Here’s a lovely cup of coffee to you ☕️😃

FINALLY I got your attention! 😃
I was a bit afraid you’ve given completely up on me!
Ok, so where was I? 🤔 oh yeah:
Can I ask a complete innocent question?
February 25th, 2025 at 20:49Aren’t the gigantic forests in your beautiful country big enough to keep wolves?
As you know, we have few and not very big forests in Denmark, but still there are plenty of room for those lovely animals!
I am aware of the very sad situation that cheeps have been killed, (not eaten, but killed) but still, wolves are magnificent animals and we (well I) feel wealthy knowing they are here.
Wrong thread, the wolves don’t belong here, you any-0rganized-approach-defying woman! Das ist nicht ordentlich. 😑
