[edit] History
Hughes fronted Finders Keepers in the 1960s as bassist/vocalist, as well as the British funk rock band Trapeze. Hughes then went on to served as bassist/vocalist for Deep Purple between 1973 and 1976, embarking on a solo career following his deparature from the group. In the mid-1980s, Hughes recorded several different albums with bands and artists including Phenomena,("Phenomena" Phenomena II: Dream Runner"), Gary Moore ("Run For Cover"), and Black Sabbath ("Seventh Star", though this was to have been a solo album by Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, and only came out as a Sabbath album due to record label pressure). By the end of the 1980s, Hughes' ongoing drug problem was derailing him, and it wasn't until the early 1990s that a clean, sober and fully rejuvenated Glenn Hughes returned with the hit "America: What Time Is Love?" with the KLF. He also recorded a melodic rock album ("Face The Truth") with former Europe guitarist, John Norum, prior to re-embarking on an international solo career that he's primarily focused on to this day. In 1999, Glenn Hughes did a 4-5 city tribute tour to Tommy Bolin in Texas, with Tommy's brother Johnny (of Black Oak Arkansas) on drums.
Hughes supported with a massive European tour for his "Soul Mover" album, as well as collaborating with Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi on the 2005 album Fused.
Hughes then released Music For The Divine in 2006, which featured Red Hot Chili Peppers Members Chad Smith and John Frusciante. Hughes toured in support of the album throughout Europe in autumn 2006.
