Whitesnake

"The Ox and Chris, they were just breathtaking players," singer tells UCR.

"A genuinely funny, gifted man, whom I was honored to know and share a stage with," David Coverdale said of ex-bandmate.

Two-CD/Blu-ray set also features 'Stormbringer' demos, alternate track mixes, song-by-song commentary and more.

"Truthfully, I simply don't want to do anything at this time in my life that will open the door to regret," Whitesnake leader explains.

Frontman is still committed to the band's farewell tour plans.

Band members have faced various health woes while on their farewell tour.

Guitar virtuoso played on band's 1989 album 'Slip of the Tongue.'

It wasn't until guitarist John Sykes added his "embellishments" that Coverdale realized it could be a Whitesnake song.

Singer says he's retiring from the road once this trek is over.

Trek will also feature Swedish rockers Thundermother.

Power ballads propelled the album to multiplatinum status, but hard-rocking deep cuts steal the show.

New bassist Tanya O'Callaghan says David Coverdale won't stop writing music.
