“I’ll be honest with you - it was a very tough job when I replaced Jesus Christ as the singer in Deep Purple.”
Hold on a minute – did I hear correctly? Did David Coverdale just tell me that Britain’s greatest heavy rock band formerly employed the Son of God as lead vocalist? Was that what it meant in the Bible, when it said He turned water into whine? Did a humble headbanger from Nazareth (not Dan McCafferty) once share the same stage as Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore? And if so, how did His Holiness cope with Blackers’ spooky Ouija board tactics and black magic tricks?
