As a rule, Deep Purple is apolitical, but on this occasion, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, they spoke out against it in a post on their Facebook page.
I’ve always thought music should be non-political, and cross every border as the universal language. As a citizen of a deeply divided country, one thing here that everybody agrees on is: Stop this attack on a Country who voluntarily disarmed their nukes to satisfy all the big players. Stop, lower your guns, turn back, help others on the way back!
