Jesus that speaks with tortoises
A couple of long term Gillan’s talks. You’ll need an hour and a half to go through them, so plan accordingly.
On September 11, 2025, Ian Gillan was a guest in a Zoom meeting organized by The Third Age Trust. Here he talks about all thing in his life, from the early childhood to celebrating his 80th birthday, and music that transcends cultures and ideologies.
The takeaway news of the moment are that there are plans for a massive Deep Purple world tour next year, starting in May and finishing in November.
The speech in Scotland that Ian mentions above was his talk on September 3 at The Scotland Forum in Edinburgh Castle. It partially repeats the previous talk (or, it is rather the other way around).
Thanks to Igor’s Rock Universe for posting the U3A talk, the Academy for Cultural Diplomacy for the Scotland Forum videos, and to steve4422 for the heads-up on it all.

2026 in Europe, Asia, South America, North America, then Europe again, UK, and closing in with the Royal Albert Hall show in London. WOW ♥️
