David Coverdale

David Coverdale recalls inaccurate "Pinksnake" rumors.

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

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.

"It's such a game-changing, life-changing thing," he reflects on his 1973 debut with legendary band.

"It breaks my heart not to do it," says Whitesnake frontman.

Singer David Coverdale is reportedly seeking treatment for a "persistent upper respiratory infection."

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

The Darkness frontman says experience made him “vomit in my mouth – in a really good way.”

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.
