Deep Purple's Ian Gillan joins Shaun!

Deep Purple frontman Ian Gillan joins Shaun to chat about the band's brand new album 'Splat!', which is out today.

Deep Purple are no strangers to change. Since the band began in the late 60s, they've been on a rock 'n' roll rollercoaster of success and excess, not to mention an impressive array of line-ups. The band are still going strong in 2026 and are getting ready to release their new album, 'Splat!'.

Shaun welcomes frontman Ian Gillan to the show, to chat about new music and the band's unrivalled rock 'n' roll history.
