Glenn Hughes
Glenn Hughes (born 21 August 1951) is an English rock bassist and vocalist, best known for playing bass and performing vocals for rock pioneers Trapeze, the Mk. III and IV line-ups of Deep Purple , as well as working with Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi as a solo artist. In addition to being an active session musician, Hughes also maintains a notable solo career. He fronted the supergroup Black Country Communion from 2009 to 2013 and from late 2013 to early 2015, California Breed. In 2016 he will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Deep Purple.
History
Hughes was born in Cannock. He fronted Finders Keepers in the 1960s as bassist/vocalist, as well as the British funk rock band Trapeze. Hughes was recruited to replace Roger Glover as bassist in Deep Purple in 1973, though he considered himself more a vocalist than a bassist. He was reportedly uninterested in the Deep Purple job until some of the other members proposed that Paul Rodgers of Free be brought in as co-lead vocalist. Though the recruitment of Rodgers fell through, Hughes had now become interested in the "two-lead-singer thing", and David Coverdale was later hired as Deep Purple's lead vocalist. The two would ultimately share lead vocal duties in the band until their break-up in 1976. Battling severe cocaine addiction, Hughes embarked on a solo career following his departure from the group, releasing his first solo album in 1977 called Play Me Out.
Glenn Hughes (cricketer)
Glenn Arthur Hughes (born 23 November 1959, Goomalling, Western Australia) was an Australian cricket player, who played first-class cricket for Tasmania and Orange Free State.
Career
As a player
Hughes' elder brother is former Australian cricket captain Kim Hughes. Hughes played from 1986 until 1992 for the Orange Free State and Tasmania. He initially moved to Tasmania from home-city of Perth after finding it difficult to break into the Western Australia cricket team, and played in South Africa between 1989 and 1991 as the South African ban was lifted. He was an accomplished right-handed batsman and "solid opener" who scored over 2000 runs in his first-class career.
Later career
Following retirement, Hughes became a broadcaster at the Bellerive Oval for ABC Grandstand and a state selector for Tasmania. He also ran his own coaching centre, the Glenn Hughes Cricket Coaching Centre.
2010 rape accusation
In late 2010 Hughes faced allegations of rape by a former lover. He pleaded not guilty to two counts of sexual penetration without consent. Following payment of a $20,000 bail notice, Hughes was released to home detention for the duration of the trial. He lost both his position as state selector for Tasmania and broadcaster for ABC Grandstand.
Glenn Hughes (Village People)
Glenn Martin Hughes (July 18, 1950 – March 4, 2001) was the original "Biker" character in the disco group Village People from 1977 to 1996. He graduated Class of 1968 from Chaminade High School, then attending Manhattan College, where he was initiated as a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia music fraternity in 1969. He was interested in motorcycles, and was working as a toll collector at the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel when he responded to an advertisement by composer Jacques Morali seeking "macho" singers and dancers. Hughes and other members of the band were given a crash course in the synchronized dance choreography that later typified the group's live performances.
Glenn's powerful bass voice played an important part in the background lyrics of almost all Village People's most known hits, such as "In the Navy". He sported an extravagant horseshoe moustache and wore his trademark leather outfit on stage and off. As he was the band's "biker" and a real life fanatic, he kept his motorcycle parked inside his home. With Village People gaining fame, Hughes became one of the icons of the disco era, even appearing in a special television broadcast in Playboy Mansion with Hugh Hefner.

Isolation
ISOLATION
In this world
It's so hard to make a plan
Every time now you know
I understand
There's no way I would
Go there on my own
Such a place
I refuse to be alone
Don't live in isolation
Don't live in isolation
Don't live in isolation
Cos it's not good for me
I'm in grace
And I never will regret
I won't fall
And I hope I don't forget
Won't you stay
I will occupy your mind
Night and day
It's my life I have designed
Don't want to live there anymore
You'll never find out on the shore
