Deep Purple Thinking About New Album
Ian Gillan says that it\'s \"about time\"
At a press conference in Mexico the band were speaking about their current tour and what the future holds.
When asked if there are any plans for Deep Purple to record a new studio album soon, the band's vocalist, Ian Gillan, replied, "I guess it's about time, isn't it?! So we're gonna get together and have a writing session quite soon. And if we get excited, then we'll probably have another album finished and ready for release shortly after that. We'll see how it goes. But there's no plans. But I think we're getting poked by various connections who would like to see another Deep Purple record. So I think it's about time."
A new album would be the follow up to 2005's Rapture Of The Deep.
