Deep Purple Break Up The Focus of Forthcoming Rockumentary

Deep Purple's 1976 break-up gets the documentary treatment with "Gettin' Tighter: The Story Of Deep Purple Mark 4," set for release in early 2011. In '75, the revolving door that is/was Purple continued to spin � EXIT: Ritchie Blackmore, who went on to form Rainbow - ENTER: hired gun Tommy Bolin, who had just left The James Gang and signed a solo deal.

DPMK4 featured Bolin, David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Jon Lord and Ian Paice; the lineup was intact for just one album, 1975's "Come Taste The Band" - the band broke up following their 6-month tour to support the record amid a haze of drugs, death and despair. At the time, Hughes was dealing with a cocaine issue, while Bolin had a hidden heroin problem; as a result, the tour was a rough affair, and performances were very hit-and-miss. - more including the trailer
