Hi everyone,
Don't you wanna get back to the grind!!
Everyday is a new day...another vital experience.
I am blown away @ seein' the young faces in the audience...it shows me that I have made some good choices in my musical direction....listenin' to fans after the shows, and what their take is on the new setist, has really opened the floodgates to move 4ward. After all, being a Solo Artist does come with its advantages, now having a larger selection of material to choose from is Paramount to my vision.
For those of you who have seen the new show...thanx for the beautiful response, some of you had not even heard any F U N K songs until the concert...hugs to you all for allowin' me to grow...this means the World 2 me.
Last night in Budapest there were many new fans, who were not DP fans, they are GH solo all the way....it is so refreshing to know that you are out there, you give me so much 2 look 4ward to.
In life we must be free...some of us don't let go...I want 4 nothin' other than to be centered, and have a conscious contact with my Higher Power...with this, anything is possible....the universe is waitin'.
It aint no fake, it's a way of livin'.
See you.....

Hi Everyone,
We are in Lilehammer, Norway in pre-production 4 the never ending tour. JJ, Luis, Anders, Matt, Carl and my crew are hard @ work rehearsing the the songs. A reminder to everyone...there will a lot of F U N K songs played this year...these songs have re-energised my batteries...never B4 I have felt so invigorated @ the start of a tour...we are all ready to go.
We start on Friday night headlining the festival here in Lillehammer, it is a Classic Rock set. There will be only a few times this Summer where I will switch the set list...only when appropriate. 4 me, the future is the future. So, from Saturday onwards in Oslo, it will be the First Underground Nuclear Tour...this thang is beyond funky...thanx 4 the love.
Hope you are all trippin' to the new toons...we welcome all you new GH fans to the new site...I'll be posting regularly...and readin' your messages...same with MySpace. I'll be answering some of your letters on MySpace as well.

Hi everyone,
I am very happy to announce the world release of my new album First
Underground Nuclear Kitchen... It will be available the first
week of May... I am extremely proud of these songs. When I record songs,
I never normally play them over and over, but this album is very addictive...
I can't stop playin' it...
It is a roots album, it is a true account of my musical heritage...
it is an album, that is also fearless... Multi-dimensional... and remember,
I never make the same album twice, I'm not one to bask in the past...
it is an in the moment record... It's very emotional... I worked
some long hours in my home studio... I believe that the hard work has
been worth waitin' 4... this is 4 all my fans, and beyond...
This is a deep Musical Statement... God Bless you all...

Hi everyone,
Well, well... I have in my hand the Master copy of the new album...
yeah, I've already told you how I feel about it... I'm overjoyed,
and I honestly can say that I am overcome with great happiness...
Writing songs is the center of my life, and to finally hear the finished
Master of the new work has made me realize how far I've come since
that Fateful day in December '91... This album is a gift to myself
that I want to share with all of you... I will announce the title
here and a voice message on my, MySpace page very soon... Also the
record company.... we are scheduled for a world release party the
1st week of May...
I
wanna thank all of you who attended my mini set @ Namm last Friday
night... It was another milestone in live performances... and how
much I enjoyed myself and the response was overwhelming... From that
show, emails and proposals for future shows and events are already
being planned... Glad we played @ Namm, almost didn't do it as I've
been so busy. Met a lot of new friends there (you know who you are)

Hi everyone,
Wow,
what a year! It is a time for me to give thanx to my Higher Power,
for, one more time, givin' me the gifts to, make music, both on tour
and in the studio...
It has also been a time of loss...the Passing of my very close friend
Kevin Dubrow, has left a void in mine and Gabi's life... He was, is,
part of our family. Words cannot describe how deeply saddened we both
are... Like Tommy Bolin, I will honor his name... I knew a very personable,
intelligent, generous and hilarious KD... may he rest in Peace...
Wanna thank you the many people who attended my concerts this year:
from LA to New York, from Moscow to London, from Rio to Kiev... Thanx
for growing with me...
Now... I have just completed my new album... we are mixing @ the moment,
and will be mastering in January... I'm always excited about recording
new albums, the songs are personal to me, as they are constantly being
shaped thru out the year... Well here goes.. I have never EVER had
an experience like this B4... this Music is changing my life, it feels
like these songs have been livin' inside of me for quite sometime,
waitin' for the right moment to be born... These songs are a gift
to myself, those that are closest to me are saying that this is my
greatest work... simply because I was not afraid to show myself as
an artist... and, I really pushed myself as a songwriter, both musically
and lyrically to the MAX..
If you want a comparison, there isn't one, but it's in the "Play
Me Out, You Are The Music and Feel" vibe... It will change the
way I make music for the rest of my life... There is no doubt in my
mind, that this work will enable me to become a better person, God
wants us all to have our innermost hearts desires, and this is mine...
It will be released worldwide in April... It is the greatest high
I've ever had, better than Drugs, Food, Sport, and yes even better
than Sex...
I got somethin' cookin' for ya...

Hi everyone,
I want to thank all the fans and Media who came out to see my sold
out shows in LA and NYC. I was overwhelmed
with the reception I received, it simply brougjht me to my knees...
I have been touring the world for the last 10 years as a solo artist
and was longing to play in the country that I am proud to call home...
These shows will set the blueprint for more shows across The USA,
I genuinely was taken by the surprise of the intensity and the reaction
of eveyone who attended... I wanna thank my brother and Partner Chad
Smith, and my band Jeff Kollman, Ed Roth, and Steve Stephens... The
shows were soulful, Funked up and Rocked out GH style, and I loved
that it was "in the moment" vocal event... I love you my

See you very soon in a city near you...

Hi everyone,
I'm on my way to Europe. First up is Kavarna, Bulgaria, where there
will be a civic ceremony with the mayor, where I will be given the
keys to the city. Then I will play my show in the town square outside.
I love my Bulgarian fans and the mayor is a dear friend. Dimtrovgrad,
Serbia is the next stop where there will be another ceremony where
I will open the theatre that is named the Glenn Hughes Music Hall.
It is my first time in this country since Purple. I am really looking
forward to it. After that I will be in Italy playing with my friends
in the Moonstone Project. I know a lot of you will be coming out to
see me and it is going to be fun. I want everyone to enjoy themselves.
I have been busy writing songs for the next GH album and I am really
excited about this. Life doesn't get any better. It
is a time for love. Hope you can feel it.

Hi everyone,
I am in Russia, and wanted to give you all the news about the rumour
of a Deep Purple MKIII re-union. As I have been the one that is consistantly
being bombarded with the same question over and over again. My answer
has always been that there a 5 members, and that at no time have we
had a band discussion about a re-union. Yes, David and I flirted with
the idea 18 months ago, and since then my brother has fully comitted
himself to his love and nurturing of his beloved Whitesnake. For all
GH followers, you can all see that my solo career has gone to another
level, playing to more people around the world - the popularity and
the demand for my activity has risen... David's recent statement has
finally put this rumour to bed... Although I would have loved to have
seen it happen under the right circumstances, I'm just as happy to
let the increbible legacy of the Mighty MKIII remain intact... See
you somewhere in concert on the Planet this year...

Hi everyone,
I will be leaving for Rotterdam on Wednesday. I absolutely LOVE singing with
a full orchestra, I get chills thinking about it. See you there on
Friday evening... My show on Sunday evening in London will also be
a special event for me. I have had a great start 2 the year, and this
show comes at a wonderful time. The amazing reception we got in Russia
and the Ukraine was a turning point in my career.
It's feels good headlining theaters again, I have missed the big stages.
The passion and the soul will be carried onto the stage @ Sheperds
Bush on Sunday night! I know there will be a lot of you there, it's

an important market for me. I will keep you updated when more shows
are confirmed. Please be advised as to get your tickets soon...

thoughts. We spent christmas eve with Chad, Nancy & Cole in Malibu
and we just laughed our asses off. We were driving around in a golf

again, I want to thank my higher power for giving me one more day

people and I get completely lost in my music. As you probably know
I am writing all the time. It is my music that sustains me. My sobriety

Hi everyone,
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you this holiday season...
I took Gab to her office as I was picking her up at 5.00 to go to
Chad and Nancy's Xmas party... When I pulled in my drive, the pool
man was leaving, so, I go in the house and the dogs were goin' crazy.
Then I noticed the debris and saw drawers and clothes even the ashes
of Lamont, Simka and Pookie had been thown on the floor out of their
little caskets. I found Hughy and Princess hiding under one of the
couches. I started to feel sick to my stomach. How could they have
got into my fortress? There is a wall and high fence around my property,
you can't enter from the road, there is an outer gate that has to
be security opened , and then you have to walk thru a courtyard. They
got in thru a side door, and left by the patio overlooking the pool,
that would be the patio in the mastersuite... they took a lot of extemely
valuable jewellry belonging to Gab and myself around $100.000 worth.
We are both fine, but feel terribly violated. The police team that
took our case were very kind and cordial, let's wait and see what
happens, these were were very personal items that my wife and i had
given to each other on birthday's and Xmas, like I have said before
, there are no mistakes in Gods world, but I can tell you this. In
the morning, I have enough security people and surveilance to make
our home Fort Knox West...
We are all ok, merry Xmas 2 you all and love one another...

experience. Mark, Anders and Jeff were all complete revelations to

there and I really believe M4TD will do really well there. We are
setting up a tour in January 2007. I will work Australia as I believe
people really "get" GH over there. The new CD is now outselling
Soul Mover and to be on the charts especially in the UK is beautiful.
a lot of hard work has been put into this album. I am now in full

Hi everyone,
I think it is about time I let you all know that I am going to go
to Las Vegas next week to work with Pat Thrall. We are going to finish
Hughes/Thrall II this summer and have it for release in 2007. My new
solo album and HT2 will be strong releases. Personally I am feeling
really energized. I haven't felt this good in years. I live my life
one day at a time, and I want to thank God for the blessings.
see
you on the road this year,

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you all know that yesterday all the tracking for
the album was completed. We had the final day of string section yesterday.
It is a massive piece of work. 15 songs were recorded. I would like
you all to know I spent all of last year writing, arranging and preparing
these songs. I spent way more time on this album than any other album
of my career. I don't think anybody will argue that this is a turning
point for me. A few of my real close friends have been to chad's to
listen and they are saying that this album and the vibe is exactly
where I should be headed. I can tell you it is a mature album, and
more than ever before I can't wait for you all to hear it. We start
mixing mid March and the album is scheduled to be released May 29th.
A very tired but exuberant Glenn

Hi everyone,I
just wanted to let you all know that we are really hard at work up
at Chad's house in the Hollywood hills recording the new album. As
you know I always get really involved in making my music and you may
have heard me say this before, but this is without a doubt my finest
hour. I have worked really hard and put in a lot of extra time to
ensure that the songs are strong. Chad is really a great producer
and he is working me to the bone. We wrote a new song on Saturday
in the studio that is possibly one of the best songs I've ever written.
The album will be finished at the end of the month and we will mix
the first week of march. I can tell you this: the album will have
the most variety of my musical styles as it is where I am in my life.
It is honest, and I believe I will push the boat further. I hope you
all enjoy the ride.

As you all know, I'm in Wales recording with Tony, and all is well.
The recording is going great. This has been a very, very busy year
and most of you can read between the lines and realise that 2005 will
be even busier. When I look back at 2004, there have been many learning
curves that I have taken onboard. It's very evident that this last
couple of years have been building to this point where I have had
to take a look at many things, as my schedule has been so crazy. But
I will continue to make my world bigger with the gift that I have
been given, and once again, I am humbled by this on a daily basis.
I feel so much gratitude for where I am at, at this moment in my life, and I want to thank all of you for your love and support. Soon, Soul Mover will be released and this, to me, is the start of the next phase of my career. I feel very focused, and I'm anxious to play live, as this is where I feel at home.

Hi Everyone,
I am pleased to announce that my album Soul Mover will be released
January 24th, 2005 by Frontiers in Europe and around that time by
Yamaha in Japan. An American release will follow shortly after that.
This album was recorded live at Sound Image Studios in Los Angeles
in the Spring of 2004. Chad and I wanted an organic feel as it was
necessary to capture the emotion that can only happen when all of
us are playing live in the same room together. We were in a semi-circle
with the amps bleeding a little into the drums just as I used to record
when I first started playing. I want to thank Chad for pushing me
to do this. This recording comes at a time when I wanted you the listener,
to know more of me as a song writer and singer than ever before. This
CD was recorded with a lot of love and passion. Those close to this
recording feel it is a ground breaking album and the beginning of
the next phase in my life both professionally and personally. I have
been humbled by the experience of making this album, quite simply
because it is a very honest record, and I want you to know what makes
me tick. See you on the Soul Mover Tour beginning February 2005.
