WHO CARES - the renewed musical union between legendary Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan and none other than Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi: the undisputed master of heavy guitar riffs - will release its debut digital single will be release May 6th via Eagle Rock Entertainment.

The single features two brandnew studio tracks “Out Of My Mind” and “Holy Water”, which will raise funds for the rebuilding of a music school in Gyumri, Armenia.

The 2 Song - CD single will also contain the video clip of “Out Of My Mind” and a 40-minute documentary that shows Gillan’s and Iommi’s involvement with the Armenia cause over the years.

When asked how the inspiration for the song “Out Of My Mind” came out right after he visiting Armenia in October 2009, Ian said, “Well, normally… people like us who work with bands write the bits that we play. In this case, with ‘Out of My Mind’, Tony presented the entire musical idea and I wrote what I sing over the top, or along with it, if you prefer. The second track of the WHOCARES single, ‘Holy Water’, was a bit different as I wrote that with Steve Morse (DEEP PURPLE) and Tony was gracious enough to play guitar on it.”

Both Gillan and Iommi have spent a lot of time in Armenia, fallen in love with the country and the people and have dedicated a lot of work to a nation still shocked after the earthquake that struck Armenia on December 7, 1988.

The collaboration of Gillan and Iommi, who have worked together before on the Sabbath album “Born Again”, is in itself an incredible news for all rock and metal fans and will be the best of surprises to get to know who is completing the band: None other than Jon Lord (“Mr. Hammond”, partner with Gillan on all the Deep Purple classics), Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and HIM guitarist player Mikko “Linde” Lindström are also featured on the two new songs.
