Glenn Hughes Gets Weekly Radio Show

Glenn Hughes, the Deep Purple, Trapeze and now Black Country Communion singer and bass guitarist will begin a one hour weekly radio show on Planet Rock(planetrock.com) on Sunday June 5th at 6pm GMT. 

Every week, Hughes will choose his favorite rock songs and tell stories from his long and glittering career.

"I would like to thank Planet Rock for giving me the opportunity to share with listeners the songs that have shaped my life,” said Hughes in a statement.  “Every song is chosen by me, and there will be rock 'n’ roll stories along the away. I am a messenger.”

“Hughes continues Planet Rock’s tradition of bringing rock’s biggest names to the airwaves,” said Planet Rock’s Program Director, Trevor White.  “After a career spanning 40 years, he brings a wealth of stories from his life on the road, in the studio, his friendships with the likes of Keith Moon and Bonzo, the highs, the lows, and of course, the excesses.  His choice of music will make the show a must listen.”

The series will run on Planet Rock on Sunday evenings at 6 pm – 7 pm beginning June 5.

The news of Glenn’s Planet Rock radio series coincides with the June 13 U.K. release of Black Country Communion’s highly anticipated second album, 2, and their upcoming U.K. tour.
