Whitesnake are an English hard rock band formed in London in 1978. The members of the group are David Coverdale, the only sole-singer and founder of the band, drummer Tommy Aldridge (since 1987; left 2007 but rejoined in 2013), guitarist Reb Beach and Joel Hoekstra, bassist Tanya O'Callaghan, and keyboardist Michelle Luppi and Dino Jelusick.
After Coverdale left Deep Purple, he formed a group named "David Coverdale's Whitesnake". They were first started as a blues rock band in the early days, but explored into a further heavier sound, derived of glam metal. The band went to a major change in 1987, which their best-selling self-titled album sold around twenty-five million copies worldwide. The group disbanded in 1990, but reformed in 2003 and has released multiple albums with moderate success. Coverdale announced his retirement in November 2025, effectively putting an end to Whitesnake.
