Having sold more than 100 million albums and filled global stadiums and arenas for decades, there’s little wonder that Deep Purple’s influence is so highly regarded. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016, Deep Purple truly is rock royalty, with an ongoing reign. With a body of work spanning seven decades, the band has helped pioneer and define the hard rock genre. Known as one of the hardest-working bands ever, Deep Purple has continued to release No.1 albums and tour globally since forming in 1968. The band has stayed true to their musical roots, taking from an eclectic mix of styles to create a distinctive sound that defines them today, but has created a legacy that very few bands could ever hope to replicate.
