About Me

The Ian Gillan Band, during their North American tour in 2006, had the privilege of playing "When A Blind Man Cries" with Jeff when they passed through Toronto.

Who is Ian Gillan? He's an elder statesman of rock, he was the original Jesus Christ Superstar, and co-wrote Smoke on the Water (one of the most popular songs of all time) among dozens of other hits. He has played to tens of millions of fans, and sold over one hundred million records. He is the voice of rock and roll, and has inspired generations of singers. He's an author, a playwright, a songwriter and a philosopher with a wicked sense of humor and a bit of the devil in his eye. Pavarotti said he is a genius, and David Gilmour said as long as Gillan is singing, rock and roll is not dead. And most of all, hes got a seasoned impassioned voice and lyrical sense still better than any in rock and roll after forty years of giving it his all.
Nothing sums up Ian Gillan more, than Gillans Inn, a career retrospective DualDisc like none other! Having decided to re-visit the classic songs made famous by Deep Purple and his own solo career, Ian invited several of his friends to guest on the album including Joe Elliot (Def Leppard); Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath); guitarist Joe Satriani; Janick Gers (Iron Maiden); Uli Jon Roth (Scorpions), Robby Takac & Johnny Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls), Ronnie James Dio (Dio), Steve Morse, Jeff Healey and the rest of Deep Purple. Lending his ears & talent, Gillan's Inn is produced by Nick Blagona (The Police, Bee Gees, Chicago, Rainbow, Deep Purple, and many many others).
