Deep Purple fans are eagerly speculating about new music from the legendary band after the release of a cryptic 16-second video. The video features Ian Paice’s drum kit and Don Airey’s keyboard, with an animated algebraic equation appearing on the backdrop. While the video offers no concrete details, it has sparked rumors that new music may be on the way.
In addition to the video, Deep Purple has announced the European leg of their One More Time tour, which kicks off in June. North American dates will follow in August and September, with UK shows scheduled for November.

The band’s enigmatic nature has become part of their mystique, and their latest move is sure to keep fans guessing until more information is revealed.
