Whitesnake is an English rock band that was founded in 1977 by lead singer David Coverdale. Their sound was compared to Deep Purple early on, before the band settled into the hard rock genre. Since their founding, the group has released 11 studio albums and 4 live albums, as well as 10 compilations. Their self-titled album, released in 1987, was the most successful to date, reaching #2 on the U.S. music charts and going 8-times platinum.
Whitesnake continues to tour and released their most recent album, “Good to Be Bad” (which was classified as a gold album), in 2008. In August 2009, Whitesnake had to drop out of their summer tour with Judas Priest after Coverdale was diagnosed with severe vocal chord edema and a lesion on his vocal chords.
Whitesnake drops off Judas Priest tour due to health issues
Add Whitesnake to this summer's casualty list. The group has cancelled the remainder of its tour with Judas Priest after lead singer David Coverdale was ordered by doctors to stop singing immediately to prevent serious damage to his vocal chords.
Coverdale lost his voice during the group's August 11 concert at Red Rocks in Morrison, CO, forcing the group to cut short their performance. After being seen by a specialist, it was discovered that Coverdale was suffering from severe vocal chord edema and a left vocal chord vascular lesion.
