He rejoined the band in 1992 in time for their twenty fifth anniversary, and survived the departure of Blackmore the following year to transform the group into a regular touring outfit, which he has fronted ever since. He rejoined a reformed Deep Purple in 1984, but resurfacing tensions with Blackmore resulted in him being fired in 1989. After an almost non-stop workload, during which time he recorded six albums in four years, and problematic relationships between the band, particularly guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, Gillan resigned from the band in June 1973, having given a lengthy notice period to their managers.Īfter a short time away from the music business, he resumed his music career with solo bands The Ian Gillan Band and Gillan, before a year-long stint as the vocalist for Black Sabbath. Initially influenced by Elvis Presley, Gillan fronted several groups in the mid sixties, most notably Episode Six, but first found widespread commercial success after joining Deep Purple in 1969. It is said in certain live performances he marked the A6 note. Gillan has been the subject of debate among commentators in the music industry and fans whether or not he was the highest screamer in rock music in his prime.
