Ian Gillan joined the band Deep Purple in 1969, but left the band in 1973 to go into a brief retirement before forming the Ian Gillan Band. The early band sound had a distinct jazz-rock aspect which proved unpopular and was replaced by a more high powered hard rock sound as Ian Gillan reformed the lineup and shortened the group's name to Gillan. With the release of Mr. Universe, Ian Gillan was back in the UK charts and through several more line up changes released a string of hit singles and successful albums including Glory Road, Future Shock, Double Trouble and finally Magic.
In 1983, he joined Black Sabbath to record the Born Again album before rejoining a reunited Deep Purple shortly after completing the Born Again tour in early 1984. Ian Gillan left Deep Purple again in 1989, but rejoined for good in 1992. He remains in the band up to present day.
In 2006, Ian Gillan released a DVD to document his 40-year career called Gillan's Inn. The project involved many other musicians including Tony Iommi, Jeff Healey and Joe Satriani, as well as other current or former members of Deep Purple. The project includes a re-recorded selection of his Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and solo tracks.
