About David Coverdale

David Coverdale (born 22 September 1951) is an English singer and songwriter, best known as the founder, lead singer and the only permanent member of the hard rock band Whitesnake. He was also the lead singer of Deep Purple, from 1973 to 1976, after which he released two solo studio albums, White Snake (1977) and Northwinds (1978), before forming Whitesnake in 1978. During Whitesnake's first hiatus from 1990 to 1993, he collaborated with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page on the album Coverdale–Page, which was subsequently certified platinum. In 1997, Whitesnake's ninth studio album Restless Heart, was intended to be released as Coverdale's solo album, but was in the end, released under the title of "David Coverdale & Whitesnake". In 2000, Coverdale released his third studio album Into the Light. In 2016, Coverdale was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of Deep Purple.
