Whitesnake Falls Apart: The Saints & Sinners Story

By the time Saints & Sinners was released in November 1982, the band that recorded it had already fallen apart. Half the album was tracked by the classic Come and Get It lineup, David Coverdale, Micky Moody, Bernie Marsden, Neil Murray, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice. The other half was finished by an almost entirely new band. In this episode, we dig into the financial disputes, the firing of longtime manager John Coletta, Coverdale's personal crisis with his daughter's illness, and the moment Bernie Marsden said Coverdale decided he'd be "king of Whitesnake." Plus: the real story behind "Here I Go Again", years before it became Whitesnake's biggest hit. Part of our ongoing Deep Purple Family Tree series, tracing every branch of Coverdale, Blackmore, Gillan, and the bands they built. #Whitesnake #DavidCoverdale #SaintsAndSinners #BernieMarsden #ClassicRock #DeepPurple #HardRock #RockHistory #ClassicRockDocumentary #HereIGoAgain CONTACT INFORMATION [email protected] *FAIR USE* Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
