DAVID COVERDALE Once Again Rules Out Autobiography: 'I'm Not Interested In Hurting Anybody'
When Paltrowicz noted that there is a sense of "mystique" surrounding his personal life, unlike those of many of his contemporaries, David said: "Most important, I don't pretend to be somebody I'm not. That's the important thing. I still embrace my privacy ridiculously. I live in a private community which is very protective of my family. These kind of things. It's not open season for me. I have to keep my space clean. As you can imagine, I'm talking to millions of people on social media a day. I'm having a laugh with a bit of philosophy in, playing 'em a video.
"We're starting now a [video series called] 'Q.T. [Question Time] With D.C.', so we're gonna answer people's questions, some things that they're curious about. I won't discuss Tawny [Kitaen, Coverdale's late ex-wife], of course; Tawny is an amazing memory. But the circumstances… There are certain things that weren't… I think it's just respectful to people I've worked with. Some of the aspects were unsavory. That's for me to know, really, and to clear it from my space."
Back in 2021, Coverdale told Antihero magazine that he didn't see an autobiography as something that he would be interested in doing. "I'd have to be totally honest, and that would be very damaging to those relationships," he explained. "So, to me it's not worth it. I don't need the money. People who usually know my story, and my songs, the lyrics are pretty much journals and diaries of experiences. The difference between me and country and western music is I don't use names."
Coverdale's recent comments are similar to the ones he made in 2013 when he told RockSverige about the prospect of writing an autobiography: "I don't have time, man, and I´m still living it. Honestly, there's a huge obstacle for me because I've read some of my contemporaries' work and I remember certain circumstances very differently. If I ever do this, and right now I don't have that enthusiasm, but if I do, I'm gonna be completely honest. Names will be named because, to me, that's the only way to do it. But I'm not sure I'm comfortable with being as revealing. I'm very revealing in my work, but I don't name names, so you don't know who this woman was who was behaving like a bitch or who broke my heart. [Laughs]"
WHITESNAKE canceled several European shows last summer and pulled out of its previously announced North American tour with the SCORPIONS last fall due to Coverdale's "continued treatment for a persistent upper respiratory infection."
On June 28, 2022, WHITESNAKE scrapped three shows on its spring/summer European tour due to Coverdale's infection of the sinus and trachea. Three days later, the rest of the trek was also called off. At the time, David blamed the decision on "continuing health challenges, doctor's orders, and our concern for everyone's health and safety."
David was not the first member of WHITESNAKE to fall ill during the group's spring/summer 2022 European tour. Guitarist Reb Beach missed several shows on the trek in June 2022 after being "under the weather." On June 25, 2022, WHITESNAKE canceled its show at the Rock Imperium festival in Spain due to the fact that drummer Tommy Aldridge "went down" and "was bad enough at the time to have missed the first show ever in his career," according to Coverdale.
WHITESNAKE launched its farewell tour on May 10, 2022 at Dublin, Ireland's 3Arena. The band's 14-song set, which was part of a European tour with special guests EUROPE and co-headliners FOREIGNER, marked WHITESNAKE's inaugural performance with the group's two latest two additions, keyboardist, guitarist and backing vocalist Dino Jelusick and bassist Tanya O'Callaghan.
Coverdale had both his knees replaced with titanium in 2017 after suffering from degenerative arthritis. He later explained that he was in so much pain with arthritis in his knees that it hampered his ability to perform live.
Prior to the pandemic, WHITESNAKE had been touring in support of its latest album, "Flesh & Blood", which was released in May 2019 via Frontiers Music Srl.
On April 28, WHITESNAKE released a legacy retrospective, "Still Good To Be Bad". The collection was made available in different configurations, a few days after the 15th anniversary of "Good To Be Bad", the band's tenth studio album and its first in over a decade.
