Hi Everyone,

What a Summer eh?

It has been a very busy time 4 me, with many stops in the UK, due 2 payin' my respects to Melville and his family....I miss him so much.

So we pick up the pieces and travel on this sojourn that is set out B4 us...God's in Charge, and there are NO mistakes in his Divine world.

I really enjoyed my shows in Norway with Jo Henning and the guys....its a beautiful country that has welcomed me with warmth and love...thanx.

New Zealand was fantastic...I was the only Singer @ a Guitar Festival....great reception, and I wanna thank Sonya and her staff 4 takin' good care of Anders and myself while we were there...never seen so much rain in all my life, hey, and I was born in the rainswept UK!!

Here @ home in LA for the weekend....gonna pop in 2 Toni and Guy and have the new GH haircut this afternoon....all the dogs will be groomed down on Belmont shore 2morrow....yes, when I'm home its all very domestic...just pottering around in the garden, checkin' on the trees/shrubs and flowers that I have planted...I used to watch my Father do the same proceedure as a young impressionable lad...who would have thought I would follow suit??!!

I go 2 Italia next week 2 play with Matteo, that's always fun (love Italy).

So, to all my USA fans, it will be nice to see you on the RRFC camp tour...I will be there to say hi 2 you all....I am really lookin' 4ward to playin' with my band in the States next year, I am rarin' 2 go.

Hi Everyone,

I had an amazin' time on Part One of the European Tour....this has been the most rewarding one on many levels....the comaradarie between myself and my band and crew was second to none....lifelong memories people!

I want to thank all my fans who came out and raised the roof everynight......and again, welcome to the new, younger fans....you make the difference.

I have been @ my LA home for a week, now I head back to London this evening for a series of shows in Norway/Germany....then I'm off to New Zealand.

Wherever you are reading this in the world, I wish you love, and that your life is full of amazing experiences, and euphoric nirvana.

Pass the peaches...

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.

MESSAGE FROM GLENN!

[February 2, 2008]
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...

Glenn

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) some amazin' musicians... We are all family...
Watch this space....I got somethin' cookin' 4 ya!!!!

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...

Also, there will be some shows in Greece @ the end of September. In October there will be a South American tour where I hope to visit Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela.

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 American brothers and sisters, thank you for welcoming me home...

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

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 gonna be funky! The LA and NYC shows are now on sale. America is such an important market for me. I will keep you updated when more shows are confirmed. Please be advised as to get your tickets soon...

Big love,

Hi everyone,

Please let me thank all of my endorsement companies for their hospitality last Friday at the NAMM show. I ran into some good friends there who I hadn't seen in a while.

Next week I will start the press run for M4TD in America and I'm looking 4ward 2 that! Meanwhile, I spend most of my time writing (just can't stop myself) and hanging out at the beach with my buddies. Keep an eye out on the website as in the next few weeks a touring schedule will be posted. I'm itchin' to get back on stage with my band. Next up is Russia, a very special place for me...

Hi everyone,

Firstly I want to thank all of you who have sent messages to me this last week. We are all okay and we really appreciate all your kind 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 cart looking for santa. I hope you all have a fabulous 2007. Once again, I want to thank my higher power for giving me one more day on this earth. I count my blessings, I surround myself with loving 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 and the gift of music that God has given to me are the greatest gifts. I will be playing in many countries in 2007. They will be posted soon. I will see you on my journey. Please remember to love one another. Peace, brothers and sisters.

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...

Hi everyone,

Just got back last night to LA. I am really looking forward to the Christmas holiday. In my opinion this tour was an extremely vibrant experience. Mark, Anders and Jeff were all complete revelations to me. It has been such a long time since I felt such emotion singing with my band. The Groove, the Funk... the Soul... all extremely passionate and I love my new band both on and off stage. I will have great memories from this tour. For those of you were there, I hope you felt the vibe. The band really inspired me to new heights. The musicianship on stage deeply spoke to me, and I look forward to the next leg of the tour in February.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted you all to know that I am very excited about taking my brand new band out on tour. Joining me this tour will be Jeff Kollman on guitar, Mark Mondesir on drums and Anders Olinder on keys.

As with most artists I admire, I felt it necessary and the right time to play with exciting new players. I want to be pushed and I want to be challlenged and it will bring something new and inspirational to my shows. I have thought long and hard about this and now is the right time for a change. I will like to wish Sebastian and Kjell all the very best and to JJ: good luck with your new CD.

Hi everyone,

First I want to thank my fans in Australia and all my business associates who made this trip possible. There is definatley a buzz going on over 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 promotion groove. Te music on this album is designed for my self and my fans AND for a wider audience and the demographic that is buying this album is a younger audience. I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will be seeing you on tour in europe soon!

Hi everyone,

I'm down in Australia writing with Jimmy Barnes, which is exciting, inspiring and working out wonderfully. He's an amazing guy, and a fantastic singer. As you probably know, I'm doing 2 acoustic promo shows in Sydney and Melbourne, with the Sydney show to be aired on Australian TV. 'Music For The Divine' will be out next week; I'm very proud of this record and I hope that you can feel the love and soul in every track. As ever, thank you for all of your loyalty and support and I will see you on the road soon for the M4TD tour.

I will keep you posted on all live shows that will be coming up. I want to congratulate Chad, John, Flea and Anthony for their #1 album. They have worked really hard and deserve it.

Hi everyone,

Glenn and his Martin Hope you all had a great easter. I will be spending a week with mom and dad in the UK before I go to Norway. Feels weird having some free time after all the time spent working on my new album. Well, gotta go finish Hughes/Thrall! Thought you would like to see a photograph of the guitar that I wrote M4TD on. It is a 1956 Martin. It is a dream to play, and it has been an inspirational instrument to write on... (and yes I have had my hair cut).

Hi everyone,

Hughy I would like you to meet the newest member to our family. We found our new baby at our favorite petshop that was sponsoring a rescue. His name just happened to be "Hugh".
His full name now is Hughy Deiter Hughes. He is 2 years old and he is pure white. Lily, Wolfie and Princess have already accepted him. Gabi twisted my arm to get another cat.* She comes from a mad cat family. I have a feeling our home will be full of 4 legged friends forever. I spent this last week writing some new songs for the Hughes/Thrall album. I will be recording them next week. Lots of things coming up and when they are confirmed I will let you all know!

see you all soon,

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,

Glenn

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

[January 16, 2006]Hello!
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.

Hi everyone,

I spent the afternoon yesterday with John and Chad at Chad's home. We had a funky good time writing and going over a couple of songs for my album. John Frusciante is an absolute one of a kind. His vision and depth amazes me, and like Chad, he is extremely beautiful. Look forward to creating my next adventure in the new year.

Enjoying this beautiful weather in Southern California. It has been 85 degrees all week. I am working with Chad and John Frusciante on Monday. John has written a song for me, and we are going to get together and do some writing and playing. I am hard at work on the next GH release. The record will be recorded at Chad's home in the hollywood hills in January. We are hoping to do a video at Chad's Malibu home the 2nd week of February. Chad and John will be off on tour with the RHCP starting in April, their new album sounds fantastic! There are lots of things that are being worked on and when I get confirmations, you will be the first to know.

Hi everyone,

Feels great to be home and taking my daily walks down to the ocean. This is where I do a lot of meditating . I take my small digital dictaphone as this is how I write most of the lyrics to my albums. I am really very happy with the new songs. As with Soul Mover I put in some extra time on these songs. I will be in vegas next week where I will be spending some time with Lou at the Hard Rock and visiting Kevin Dubrow and Pat Thrall. Carl and I are now tentatively filling my schedule for 2006. 2005 has been a great year on many levels. God is in charge. Stay tuned cuz the funk is on its way!

Hi everyone,

I want to thank all of you who were at my shows in Spain and Portugal. These are some of the best shows since my return to the stage in the early 90's. We all really enjoyed it. i want to thank you all for your love. Chad was really impressed by your enthusiasm and respect for me and my music. It was great to connect with Chad and Chili Peppers fans at Norwich. I love playing to new people. It seems that at all the shows we played there are a lot of new younger fans. I am now going to take a much needed break and relax here with Gabi and my "kids". I will walk them every day (the kids, not Gabi) and I will just enjoy the moments. I will keep you informed of what is coming up next.

Hi everyone,

I just want to say we really enjoyed the two shows in Holland. One being a classic rock festival show and the other being a funk extravaganza. The response from media, fans, promoters and members of other bands were fantastic. We have been asked to come back to play at an even bigger festival next summer as there is a definite buzz now in Holland and Europe.

I will be flying to Greece on July 1st to do a show, followed by three shows in Bulgaria. On my return I will have my knee operation on july 18. I want to thank my friend Chad once again. Words can not describe how I feel about this boy. Chad & I attended the Metal Hammer awards on Monday night in London where we spent time with Tony and Geezer.

It was great to see all of you in Holland and I look forward to seeing you in the next few weeks.

Hi Everyone,

I am here in Germany and I must say the audiences have been fantastic. There has been a lot of emotion and feeling coming from them, giving me back the vibe to raise my game. I am building a great foundation on funk, soul and rock on this tour. As I've said before, this is a new era. For those of you who don't know what I mean, it simply comes from the spiritual growth that has been giving to me. For those of you who have been to the shows and are coming to the shows: you will see and hear what I mean. It's a feeling and I am totally living in the moment. I am not thinking about yesterday or what I am going to do tomorrow. It's a Soul connection. Soul Mover is the biggest selling release in a long time; there is a lot of activity happening in my life and career and I am sincerely greateful for the blessing. We are all enjoying this journey and personally, I have never felt better in my life.

Hi Everyone,

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.

I will be sending you a new message when I get home just before Christmas, and I will have some very special news for you.

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.

Your Brother,

Glenn
