## Resource

Deep Purple’s new album “Splat!” is their heaviest in years, packed with classic high-octane energy, and they’re hitting the road for an epic 86-show global tour. Frontman Ian Gillan, turning 80, jokes about his fading vision—now at just 30%—but insists he’s not thinking about retirement. He’s determined to keep playing until he can’t anymore, though he admits he’ll stop if his energy wanes and he risks becoming an embarrassment. With a new album and massive tour underway, Deep Purple is clearly not done yet.
