History

1978–1986

Following the release and promotion of his debut solo album White Snake in 1977, vocalist David Coverdale formed the band of the same name the following February, ^[1] with the initial lineup including guitarists and backing vocalists Micky Moody and Bernie Marsden, bassist Neil Murray, drummer Dave "Duck" Dowle and touring keyboardist Brian Johnston. ^[2] After their first few shows, the group replaced Johnston with Peter Solley (although he was still credited as a "special guest", rather than a full member) ^[3] and recorded their debut EP Snakebite . ^[4] By August, Solley had also been replaced by Jon Lord, Coverdale's former bandmate in Deep Purple, in time for the recording of their debut album Trouble . ^[4] Dowle was replaced in July 1979 after the recording of Lovehunter by Ian Paice, another Deep Purple alumnus. ^[5] After Ready an' Willing and Come an' Get It , Whitesnake were placed on hiatus by Coverdale in early 1982, during which time Marsden, Murray and Paice all left the band for other projects. ^{[1] [6]}

Coverdale reformed the group in October 1982, with Moody and Lord joined by new guitarist Mel Galley, bassist Colin Hodgkinson and drummer Cozy Powell. ^[1] After the recording of Slide It In , Moody and Hodgkinson left in December 1983, with John Sykes and the returning Neil Murray taking their places. ^[7] Both new members featured on the US reissue of the album, which featured re-recorded tracks. ^[8] A few dates into the subsequent tour, Galley broke his arm and was forced to leave the band, who completed the shows as a five-piece. ^[9] Lord also left in April to rejoin his former bandmates in reforming Deep Purple. ^[10] Whitesnake subsequently continued performing as a four-piece, adding Richard Bailey as a touring keyboardist throughout the rest of the year. ^[11] After two Rock in Rio performances in January 1985, Powell then left to form Emerson, Lake & Powell. ^[12] A few months later, the band started recording their self-titled album with new drummer Aynsley Dunbar and session keyboardist Don Airey. ^[13]

1987–1997

After it was completed the previous year, Whitesnake was released in 1987. ^[14] Shortly before its release, Coverdale put together an all-new lineup which included former Dio guitarist Vivian Campbell, former Vandenberg guitarist Adrian Vandenberg, and former Ozzy Osbourne bassist and drummer Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge. ^[14] After the end of the album's touring cycle, Campbell left the band. ^[15] He was replaced the next April by Steve Vai, formerly of David Lee Roth's solo band. ^[16] Vai performed all guitars on the group's next album Slip of the Tongue , after Vandenberg suffered a wrist injury that prevented him from playing. ^[17] For the album's touring cycle, Rick Seratte joined on live keyboards. ^[18] At the end of the tour in September 1990, Coverdale chose to disband Whitesnake. ^[19]

In 1994, Coverdale revived Whitesnake following the breakup of Coverdale•Page, touring between June and October in promotion of Greatest Hits . ^[20] The band's lineup included returning members Vandenberg and Sarzo, in addition to Ratt guitarist Warren DeMartini, former Coverdale•Page touring drummer Denny Carmassi, and backup keyboardist Paul Mirkovich. ^[21] At the end of the run, the group's contract with Geffen Records expired and they disbanded again. ^[21] A second reformation followed in 1997, when Coverdale, Vandenberg and Carmassi reunited alongside former Coverdale•Page touring members Guy Pratt (bass) and Brett Tuggle (keyboards) for Restless Heart . ^[22] The album was initially intended to be a Coverdale solo release, however due to pressure from his new label EMI Records it was branded a Whitesnake album. ^[23] The tour, which ran from September to December 1997, featured Vandenberg and Carmassi, plus guitarist Steve Farris, bassist Tony Franklin and keyboardist Derek Hilland. ^[22]

2003 onwards

After a five-year break, it was announced in December 2002 that Whitesnake would reformed for a tour the following year, with drummer Tommy Aldridge returning alongside new members Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach on guitars, Marco Mendoza on bass, and Timothy Drury on keyboards. ^[24] In April 2005, Mendoza left to pursue "other musical avenues", ^[25] with Uriah Duffy taking his place the following month. ^[26] In December 2007, it was also announced that Aldridge had departed, with Chris Frazier having taken his place to record drums for Good to Be Bad , the first Whitesnake studio album since 1997. ^[27] Both Frazier and Duffy had left by June 2010, with Brian Tichy and Michael Devin taking their places, respectively. ^{[28] [29]} Drury left to pursue a solo career in September, ^[30] with his place taken on the Forevermore touring cycle by Brian Ruedy. ^[31] After two years of touring, Tichy left in January 2013 and was replaced by Aldridge a few weeks later. ^{[32] [33]} Aldrich later left in May 2014, citing a desire to start a solo career. ^[34]

Aldrich's place in the band was taken by Night Ranger guitarist Joel Hoekstra in August 2014. ^[35] The following year saw the release of The Purple Album , a collection of recordings of tracks from Coverdale's time in Deep Purple. ^[36] Shortly after the album's release, Michele Luppi was enlisted as Whitesnake's new keyboardist. ^[37] Flesh & Blood followed in 2019. ^[38] In July 2021, Whitesnake recruited Dino Jelusick for their 2022 farewell tour, turning Whitesnake into a septet for the first time. ^[39] Later that November, Michael Devin parted ways with the band. ^[40] He was replaced by Tanya O'Callaghan. ^[41]
