Glenn Hughes is an English bassist and singer who fronted hard-rockers Trapeze on their first three albums: Trapeze, Medusa (both 1970), and You Are the Music…We’re Just the Band (1972). He then replaced Roger Glover in Deep Purple for the 1974/75 albums Burn, Stormbringer, and Come Taste the Band. In 1977, he released the solo album Play Me Out on Safari Records.
Hughes’ partnership with American guitarist Pat Thrall (Automatic Man, Pat Travers Band) spawned the popular 1982 Epic release Hughes / Thrall. In 1985, he played on Gary Moore‘s Run for Cover and partook in the symphonic hard-rock super-project Phenomena with Peter Green and drummer Cozy Powell.
Hughes was born on August 21, 1951, in Cannock, Staffordshire, in the West Midlands of England.
