Ian Gillan & Tony Iommi to release 'WhoCares'
added: 8 May 2012 // by: Music-News.com Newsdesk
Deep Purple´s Ian Gillan and Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) took
everybody by surprise in 2011 by releasing a charity single: 'Out Of
My Mind', renewing the collaboration that led the pair recording an
album in 1984 'Born Again' under the moniker Black Sabbath. For the
occasion, the two rock legends called a few friends, asking for some
'help'. None other than Jason Newsted, Jon Lord and Nicko McBrain
completed the supergroup.
The single was a joyful and inspired moment. The spark to bring Iommi
and Gillan in a studio, together again was to finance the rebuilding
of a music school in Armenia they had visited together on various
occasions in past years.
Far from being a spectacular charity project, WhoCares was a nice
gesture, done with class, from two musicians with nothing to prove,
willing to support music, where music is considered a luxury.
WhoCares will be released on June 22nd on earMUSIC.
A dream come true for Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath fans.
