Accompanying this morning's announcement of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2015 induction class was the usual head shaking and open-mouthed disbelief that some of classic rock's oldest and most worthy bands were passed up once again.

Ian Gillan would rather turn down induction than be forced to be on the same stage as Ritchie Blackmore again.

Deep Purple will officially issue the 'Graz 1975' concert, long considered the best-ever from its Mk III edition.

The veteran band will play 19 shows, with stops in Orlando and Las Vegas planned.

Deep Purple's Mk. I released their final album on June 21, 1969.

Deep Purple are currently in the studio creating the follow-up to 2013's 'Now What?!'

Ian Gillan has a message for all the youngsters who think they should step aside.

Metallica delivered a four-song acoustic covers set at a benefit honoring Ozzy Osbourne.

Deep Purple's decision to perform in Turkish-occupied Cyprus may not be sitting well with certain pundits and a number of fans, but the show itself looks like it's shaping up to be a colossal event.

Deep Purple are releasing a CD of their headline-making April 6, 1974 concert from the California Jam festival on April 1.

In late-1972, Deep Purple released one of the most heralded live albums of all time. 'Made In Japan' captured the legendary band at what was perhaps the peak of their powers. On May 19, Universal Music is set to reissue the landmark album in a special deluxe package that is sure to have fans drooling.

The famous fire at the Montreux Jazz Festival took place on Dec. 4, 1971
