The Whitesnake frontman, 74, surprised fans early Wednesday morning when he announced his retirement from social media, marking the end of more than two decades spent chatting, joking and occasionally oversharing with what he affectionately calls his “Brothers and Sisters of the Snake.”
In a pair of posts shared at 3 a.m. on Wednesday, December 11, Coverdale delivered a formal farewell message that read like a curtain call.
The social media goodbye comes just weeks after Coverdale confirmed he was retiring from music altogether. In mid-November he shared a video message announcing that he was bringing his five decade career to a close, saying it was finally “time to hang up my rock and roll platform shoes and my skin tight jeans.”
Coverdale, who fronted Whitesnake through some of rock’s most recognizable eras including the band’s 1987 breakthrough that produced hits like “Here I Go Again” and “Is This Love,” thanked fans for the memories created both onstage and online.
