Description

Dubbed the 'man in black', guitarist Ritchie Blackmore found fame with Seventies rock giants Deep Purple, then walked away from them to create Rainbow, only to abandon them and form another band in 1997 - Backmore's Night.

Read how he handed in his resignation in the middle of Deep Purple's 25th anniversary tour and learn how, during his career, he became involved with Lord Sutch, Joe Meek, Gene Vincent, Jerry Lee Lewis, Freddie Starr and Tom Jones.

This story also reveals his love/hate relationship with Deep Purple's lead singer Ian Gillan and his moodiness, antics on and off stage, reputation as a 'hire and fire' merchant. This biography also accounts for his three marriages, police chases, imprisonment and passion for football!

Jerry Bloom is a freelance writer and designer who first heard Ritchie Blackmore's fiery guitar in 1971 and has passionately followed Blackmore's career for the past thirty years. He first met Ritchie in 1984 and in 1996 he jointly establishment the international Ritchie Blackmore magazine More Black Than Purple which he has edited since 2000.
