I have been talking with people regarding the future of Coverdale and while they couldn't go into extensive detail as there is an upcoming interview that will clear things up - I can confirm that Coverdale is NOT ready to retire.
I was teased with this little tidbit:
"Deep Purple reunion?"
We shall see what Coverdale has to say about that in the interview.
As for a Whitesnake album with new songs - it is looking like Coverdale will be going back to the early hard rock blues based style of the band and that the over the top 1987 and Slip Of The Tongue style is over. Early Snake is certainly easier on Coverdale's voice and he can still pull that off vocally much better than the stuff on more recent albums.
There may be an unplugged album after that.
More to be revealed very soon when the interview goes up.

Not surprised. They never know when to retire. Like boxers really.
But, that being said...I have no problem whatsoever with him and other aging vocalist who have lost a lot of their voice carrying on. They have put the effort in all these years living their dreams. Who am I to question their decisions. I can make my own decisions and not follow said artist if I choose to do so. Rock on David. Until you can't any longer.

Plus I think it would be somewhat refreshing to hear Coverdale do a new take on early Whitesnake. I wanted him to do that anyway. I guess David and Joel will write some bluesy rock numbers. I wonder if this means that Reb Beach will no longer be in the band after the tour, since he's not really appropriate for a return to Marsden/Moody Whitesnake. |

Well, I have no desire to hear a re-hashed Whitesnake. But more power to those that do. |

Beyond the modern rock bands you listen to - isn't every band we listen to, be it Van Halen, KISS, Aerosmith and so forth - just rehashing the past? |

Problem with WS is the only past most of their fans care about is their "hair band" era. |

Who are we to tell an artist when to retire. It's a huge (if not biggest) part of their life and it's got to be tough surrendering that once and for all. |

I still want a Bluesy Hard Rock based Whitesnake album from this line-up. Something similar to the last two albums, but maybe a tad Bluesier.
I'd be bummed if Coverdale walks away from the material that we know was already written. Then again, maybe his voice is so shot that he just can't sing it. Unlike Paul Stanley, maybe Coverdale is willing to admit that his best isn't good enough for something.
The real bummer is that both Coverdale and Paul Stanley have voices that are so badly damaged. They were two of the best, and now they can barely get the job done (then again, sometimes they can't). Paul sounded passable (barely) last year, but this year he sounds awful. Coverdale's vocals on the Purple Album sound raspy, strained, weak, and tired - like the vocals of an old man (older than 64). Even though he had serious problems live, Coverdale was still able to deliver in the studio up through the last album. He managed to get workable vocals done for the Purple album, but just barely, and he sounds noticeably weaker than on the last two studio albums.
Time is a bitch.

Coverdale is not in denial and knows he has a problem. Would Paul Stanley say this: Coverdale explains. “Well, you know, I’m 64 in September, brother! You know, you can only tune ‘Still of the Night’ down so far,” he says with a big laugh. “So I have to be able to do my thing and know it is working. I don’t want to be intimidated about going on stage. And you know, that’s one of the reasons I’m working out so hard to build the stamina and stuff to be able to deliver. |

I have read Paul saying something about his aging vocals somewhere.
