Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Well, I did already write that 2025 isn’t giving mercy to heavy metal artists, and unfortunately, this continues to be the case. David Coverdale, leader of Whitesnake, releases a statement via the band’s official channels announcing his retirement.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, brothers and sisters of the Snake, a special announcement for you. After 50 years plus of an incredible journey with you, with Deep Purple, with Whitesnake, Jimmy Page, the last few years has been very evident to me that it’s time really for me to hang up my rock and roll platform shoes and my skin tight jeans. And as you can see, we’ve taken care of the lion’s wig, lion’s wig.
But it’s time for me to call it a day. I love you dearly. I thank everyone who’s assisted and supported me on this incredible journey, all the musicians, the crew, the fans, the family.
It’s amazing. But it really is time for me to just enjoy my retirement. And I hope you can appreciate that.
Once again, I love you with all my heart. Fare thee well.
