Deep Purple will bring their “The Long Goodbye” tour to North America this August and September with special guests Alice Cooper and the Edgar Winter Band.
The dynamic trio has dates set for many major cities including L.A., Houston, Dallas, Toronto, Chicago and the New York area among the nineteen dates announced.
While they haven’t said they are retiring, Deep Purple has given some indications including the naming of their new tour as “The Long Goodbye”. The band has a new album, InFinite, coming out on April 7 via earMusic.
Alice Cooper has been extremely busy over the last few years, opening for much of Motley Crue’s farewell tour and forming and recording with The Hollywood Vampires. His last solo album was 2011’s Welcome 2 My Nightmare.
Edgar Winter’s last album was 2008’s Rebel Road.
