Glenn Hughes’ latest solo album, Chosen, is set for release on September 5, and to celebrate we have a special edition of Classic Rock that features a limited-edition Glenn cover, a hand-signed lyric sheet and an exclusive coke bottle clear vinyl.

Glenn Hughes is one of rock’s great survivors. After rising to fame as singer and bassist with Trapeze and Deep Purple, he found himself in the grip of serious drug addiction which derailed his career in the 1980s and came close to ending his life. Thankfully, he cleaned up in the 1990s, releasing a string of albums that cemented his reputation as The Voice Of Rock.

It’s the first record to bear his name since 2016’s Resonate, but he tells Classic Rock that it may be the last…

“This may be the last Glenn Hughes solo album,” he says. “It was suggested that I needed to do one for the label, I owed them an album. So I thought, ‘OK, if that‘s the way it’s going to be’, and I wrapped my head around it.

“Solo albums, for me, are very personal,” he adds. “I like to make records when I have something to say. I don’t think about genres any more, I just think, ‘How is this going to sit with me?’”
