WHITESNAKE frontman David Coverdale supports digital music. When he was asked about streaming services, he said:
“We are very fortunate that a lot of people want the hard copy — CD — but my son’s 22 years old. He never bought a CD; everything is [on] his iPhone. I used to have flight cases made with the DJ cassettes I’d made. [Laughs] And now everything is contained in a couple of iPhones — two hundred thousand pieces of music. It’s crazy. But I wanna ride that digital wave, hopefully without embarrassing myself and others.”
When asked about social media, he said:
“The Internet, to me, is an astonishing way for me to use in a positive way — entertain, engage, inform, promote and interact with people who supported my music all over the world”
“I post a lot of memes that are uplifting. I don’t post anything I don’t believe in or subscribe to. And the circumstance is that that’s all I wanna do. And if you’re posting or tweeting me, all I ask is that this is my cyberspace. If you’re rude, then you’ll be asked to leave in no uncertain terms. I wanna maintain that positivism as much as I can.”
