Steve Morse on Leaving Deep Purple: "Some Were Glad to See Me Go"

Steve Morse reflects on his departure from Deep Purple with a clarity that slices through sentiment. During an interview with Guitar Interactive, he shares that while some members expressed regret, “a couple of guys in the band were really glad for me to be gone.”

Speculating on a potential reunion, Morse doesn’t dismiss the idea entirely but stops short of enthusiasm, suggesting a diplomatic ambiguity that fits the band’s long history of lineup turbulence and unsaid tensions.
