Nicht ganz richtig

Einige Äußerungen von David Coverdale erwecken den Eindruck, dass Rob Cooksey und Bruce Payne zum Ende der Band (und darüber hinaus) das Alltagsgeschäft übernommen hatten:

"I was utterly exhausted in every possible way after 3 years of... you name it... I retired to my Mother's home, where over a period of a week, in between much sleep... I wrote my letter of resignation and delivered it to the Purple management, who at that time was administered by Rob Cooksey & Bruce Payne..."

"Was there always the intention of putting together a live band to work with, and had you done any live work during the two years between the demise of Purple in March 1976 and Whitesnake’s first shows in March 1978?

DC: The biggest obstacle for me to overcome at that time was convincing the temporary Purple management… Rob Cooksey & Bruce Payne, at that time… that the “new boy” could cut it on his own… After a very uncomfortable period of time, they very generously advanced me 10 grand to write, record, mix & deliver an album…so…that’s what I had to do…Glenn had exactly the same problems… "
