Friday, August 21: Rock n Roll Birthdays

Happy Birthday today (Aug. 21) to "The Voice of Rock" Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath). The rocker is 64. In remembrance today, punk legend and leader Joe Strummer of the Clash would have been 63. He died in 2002 at the age of 50.

Glenn Hughes played with Deep Purple for a time and also had a brief stint fronting Black Sabbath in the mid 80's. Hughes fronted supergroup Black Country Communion from 2009-20013. He also been touring as singer of the band Kings of Chaos since 2013 and formed a new band called California Breed in late 2013 with drummer Jason Bonham and guitarist Andrew Watt. California breed has since broke up after releasing just one album.
