It's endless, the music that came from the '70s and I being one of the last guys who can travel the world and do this because I love to do this." He also explained why Deep Purple added David Coverdale as a second singer to the lineup, "Because [guitarist Ritchie] Blackmore wanted to have two singers. I didn't discuss with him why.
