Travelling on hold
Another interview with Candice Night, in which she reveals that Ritchie Blackmore’s touring career is, ahem, on hold. He was told by the doctors not to fly (at least for now), so any shows now can only be within the driving distance from their home in Long Island.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Candice seems very intelligent, kind and energetic, juggling family and career. I wonder just how bad Ritchie’s health is at this point: she’s doing a solo album, he has travel restrictions, etc.
April 3rd, 2025 at 19:32It’s not easy being older 😑
April 3rd, 2025 at 19:39I don’t watch these videos but I do sincerely wish Ritchie good health. Cheers.
April 3rd, 2025 at 22:19I don’t like to hear that. He’s the best there ever was.
April 3rd, 2025 at 23:11I’ve grown to like her. She has a beautiful voice and I agree that she is very intelligent. I still don’t care for BN music. However. Her new solo album sounds pretty good. Different.
Prayers for Ritchie. Hope he gets up and around soon.
As far as getting older, my departed mother used to say,”The golden years are not so golden.”
It‘s a bit like the old ‘A Star Is Born’ or “New York, New York” story, Ritchie’s career is coming to its logical biological end, but Candice, once his apprentice, still has a good many years before her, 26 years younger than Ritchie as she is.
Ritchie will be very lucky if he lives to see his kids finish college – that is the price you pay if you become a father (again) in your late 60s.
Even his first son Jürgen will be turning 61 this year, time flies.

April 4th, 2025 at 05:24I dont care much for their music but I do like Candice she´s very typical american who try to see all tgings from a positive side the glass is always half full..and I like that..even if I myself always see the glass as half empty…….
April 4th, 2025 at 09:08and #4 I agree.. Ritchie..”he´s the best there ever was!”
“I don’t watch these videos …”
You actually should, Herr MacGregor, overcome your BN allergy! I have a rightfully bad reputation for pouring derision on some of the aspects of BN’s music and image, but I have to say I enjoy her somewhat bubbling, over-detailed (you know how wimmin get to the point in the same way a bee approaches a flower

and very American-talkative interviews. She’s pleasantly unpretentious and unjaded, maybe that attracted someone as caustic as Ritchie to her. She has this very American, infectious “let’s do this” can do-attitude, a nuclear reactor of positivity, really an American frontiers woman.
