This past spring, Whitesnake announced plans to spend 2012 in the studio, mixing live recordings made during their 2011 Forevermore World Tour, including the production of a live in-concert DVD from the trek.
Whitesnake leader David Coverdale checks in with an update:
"We are busily mixing and editing a live album and a separate in-concert DVD from the 'Forevermore' world tour, plus mixing an special expanded editions of 'Into The Light' and 'Restless Heart'. Plus archiving so much audio and visual material and content from so many years. But [we're] definitely not [working on] a whole new studio album at this time. Quite simply we wouldn't have time to write and record a new studio album. It was never on our agenda for 2012."
