Biography: Ian Gillan
[Top]
Ian Gillan, heavy metal vocalist. Gillan was born in Hounslow, Middlesex, England. After leaving Deep Purple in 1973, he went into brief retirement before forming the Ian Gillan Band. The early band sound had a distinct jazz-rock aspect which proved unpopular & was replaced by a more high powered hard rock sound as Gillan reformed the line up & shortened the groups name to Gillan. With the release of Mr Universe Ian Gillan was back in the UK charts & through several more line up changes released a string of hit singles & successful albums including Glory Road, Future Shock, Double Trouble & finally Magic. Then he announced the band would fold as he needed to rest his damamged vocal chords. In 1983 he joined Black Sabbath to record the Born Again album before rejoining Deep Purple shortly after completing the Born Again tour in early 1984.
