Gillan & Glover

Deep Purples Vocalist and Bassist Duo

Gillan & Glover were a musical duo consisting of Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, both members of the renowned British hard rock band Deep Purple. Ian Gillan served as the lead vocalist for Deep Purple, known for his powerful and distinctive voice, while Roger Glover played bass and contributed to songwriting. Their collaboration outside of Deep Purple led to the creation of the album "Accidentally on Purpose" in 1988, which showcased a different musical direction compared to their work with the band, incorporating elements of rock, blues, and pop with a more experimental approach. Both artists have had successful careers within Deep Purple and as solo artists, contributing significantly to the rock genre. Their individual careers span several decades, with Gillan joining Deep Purple in 1969 and Glover in 1970, although both had brief periods away from the band. Together with Deep Purple, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.
