WHITESNAKE leader David Coverdale checks in with the following update:

"We have LOTS of 'irons in the fire’ right now... and all important... I feel it’s time to address the future and know the past will ultimately take care of itself.

I’m coming into London for the Classic Rock Awards... with fingers crossed... and a few days promo for the new album... then home for a week... back to Europe for a concentrated couple of weeks doing promotoion for the release of Live In The Shadow Of The Blues... then starting ‘properly’ on the new studio record.

Also, compiling the 20th Anniversary Special Edition of the WS '87 album. Oh... then it’s Christmas, isn’t it?"
