Original Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore says in a new interview that he is open to playing one final show with his legendary former band but he doesn't believe that they would have any interest in doing so.

"I think if they would be interested, and our schedules aligned, I would be available for one show -- for nostalgic reasons," Blackmore said in a new interview (via Radio.com). "But I don't think Deep Purple have any interest in that. They have their niche and are not into doing things like that.

"We are friends and I've doing my music for twenty years, and they're doing their stuff for twenty years. It's probably not likely [to happen]. Also, their management wouldn't like it, even if it was for just one show. Their management wouldn't allow it, I'm sure."
