Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan recently spoke to WV Music about the band's next album, revealing that the band is scheduled to start writing new music in March of next year. This record will be their first to feature all-new original material since 2020's Whoosh!, as last year's Turning To Crime was an album of song covers.

When asked about the next Deep Purple album, Gillan said: "Ah, give us a break. [Laughs]. For now, we're back on the road and we're loving every minute of it. We're working flat out on the road, and I don't get home until Christmas. I've got a break in the summer with my family at my place in Portugal. Then, when the Deep Purple tour finishes, I've got an orchestral tour through Spain, which takes me up to Christmas. Deep Purple has got a writing session booked in March 2023, which I believe is to get started on thinking about our next record. So, there is a lot in store and more on the way."
