Show must go on
Despite the cancellation of the pretty much all Glenn Hughes tour dates for this year, his appearance at the Sound & Vision Awards in Palm Springs, California, on March 2, 2026, is apparently proceeding ahead. Glenn has posted on his Twitter:

Thanks to Daniel for the heads-up.

6-Gun sound is or claim to fame ! 😁
February 12th, 2026 at 13:13What will be coming after that? Glenn Hughes sings Gary Glitter! Glenn Hughes sings Suzy Quatro! Glenn Hughes sings Fleetwood Mac! Glenn Hughes sings Pat Boone!
February 12th, 2026 at 14:03I am really happy for him and for all those people I know like him so much 😃
Go get them Mr Hughes 😃🙏🏼
February 12th, 2026 at 16:04But last I looked Paul Rodgers and Geezer Butler were both still doing fine, isn’t this a tad early?! 😂
And apparently Glenn is too, at least well enough for a performance which is just as nice to hear – no matter what the excuse. (Glenn’s voice wouldn’t be the first thing that comes to my mind for a Bad Company tribute, but I’m sure he’ll do a swell job.)
Will Paul and Geezer be even there?
February 12th, 2026 at 17:03Great he’s performing.
February 13th, 2026 at 01:39I believe, however, that his tour was canceled due to poor ticket sales.
Why? What for?
February 13th, 2026 at 07:52That’s good news, maybe it’s not as bad as we thought.
February 13th, 2026 at 12:34Can’t help but wonder if the U.S. dates were canceled for reasons of not wanting to bother with the mess going on here. Notably nothing here for Purple’s tour either. Can’t say I’d blame them if that were the case….a bit over half of us don’t want to be here these days. Sorry everyone, hopefully we can get it together soon.
February 14th, 2026 at 07:22@2 Well, he did sing Sinatra …on thr other hand Pat Boone did sing DP… but what’s wrong with honoring Paul Rodgers? They’re about the same age, same heritage, same scene, Trapeze and Free would’ve been a helluva package in 1972 …
@8 America has been through many a crisis and rough times… like, say, Deep Purple….😄😉…. but true greatness will survive and I believe better times are coming. Bit unsure myself though Wanted to travel the South with my boys this fall but better wait for what happens next.
February 14th, 2026 at 12:45Glenn, everybodies great friend.
February 14th, 2026 at 13:25He might try to sing Paul Rodgers songs but I’d
be fucked sideways before I’d listen to him murder
them.
No worries, Vjg, it is the nature of even Bad Bunnies to multiply more than Kid Rocks and judging from my recent visit in Santa Fe and L.A. there is light at the end of the three-year-tunnel.
February 14th, 2026 at 17:30In general, you sing in honour of the dead.
Paul was alive last time I looked – and still singing.
Anyway, his best stuff was done with Free.
The fact that the R&R Hall of Infamy is involved just makes it worse
February 14th, 2026 at 20:16He suffered bad strokes in the past, but has come round again:

February 15th, 2026 at 00:44Paul Rodgers pulled out of the R&RHOF last November. He has been through the wringer health wise, the last ten years or so.

Almost all absurdity of conduct arises from the imitation of those whom we cannot resemble.

February 15th, 2026 at 14:31On Roger Glovers home page today.
Is he trying to tell GH something.
Well, one thing that can be said of Glenn is that he was an early and sincere admirer of Rodgers – after all he joined DP believing he would sing with him!
He’ll certainly do a better job than Chris Robinson did here at the RRHoF, he seemed to have an off-night:

One thing you can say about Glenn is that ever since he left the Peruvian produce behind him, he’s pretty note-accurate when singing live.
February 15th, 2026 at 17:31It seems to be for a good cause + Glenn is friends with both Geezer Butler and Matt Sorum, so I don’t see any real harm, but as usual, his contributions are written off even before the event 🙂
February 16th, 2026 at 05:51I‘m sure he‘ll do a fine job. Glenn‘s tone of voice might not be to everyone‘s liking, but he did fine tributing RJD whose voice is as far removed from Glenn‘s as imaginable.

Rodgers (like Dio) had/has a forceful lower register; that was never really Glenn‘s forte, but he‘s gained authority in his midrange over the decades.
February 16th, 2026 at 17:00Apparently, Paul sang a few songs himself at this event:

but I haven’t found anything with Glenn yet.
Our notorious Randers Cougar’s honeybunch Nuno B. is featured too … 🤗
Glenn was definitely there:

March 10th, 2026 at 17:37Isn’t it strange that we still have no account of GH’s performance at that event? It seems so unlike his usual exhibitionism…
