David Coverdale Discusses Whitesnake’s Future
David Coverdale is unsure about Whitesnake’s future.
In a new interview, more than a year after the band pulled out of a tour with the Scorpions due to what was described as his “continued treatment for a persistent upper respiratory infection,” the singer gave fans a health update.
He explained, “Well, my band and I are in touch all the time. There is still a Whitesnake and there are still offers coming. I can’t entertain anything until I get my physical aspect together.I had a fall recently, which I don’t think helped. I’ve got two torn rotator cuffs, which would certainly compromise my performance. Arthritis, all this kind of stuff’s kicking in.”
Coverdale went on to say, “It’s so awful, getting older and having this burden of responsibility to try to be as good as you can so you don’t disappoint anybody. But I can’t commit to anything until I know how my health is.”
