Rest in Peace Bron. She comes across as a really lovely woman. She is in Heaven now. God bless Ian and his daughter Grace. My condolences to all the family.
Ian, you were one of the greatest rock vocalist in one of the best bands on the planet. Superstardom obviously brought you fame and wealth and everything you ever wanted.. You could easily have had a million girls to choose from, yet you stuck with only one lady - Bron, which only goes to show what an amazing lady she was. My deepest condolences to you, Grace and the family. A loving fan from India

I remember when I heard for the first time Deep Purple, it was ,,In Rock" at the school party in my klas in USSR ... still today my one of the favourite rock band and albom " Deep Purple in Rock" and I am lucky owner of this albom! So sorry about your wife Ian....
I loved Ian gillan, his voice was out of this world. David from Scotland UK. 🤗🙋♂️🌠🙏
Ian is a legend, look like Bron was too, God bless the Gillan family
Bron comes across as a truly nice person. Something that is lacking in the rock world. Ian, quite rightly, kept his life out of the band private and I applaud him for that. Rest in peace, Bron❤️

Yes, very smart man indeed, he kept his family/private life private and had a lovely lady, Bron, that was his wife and mother of their daughter, Grace, rather than a never ending list of bimbos. RIP Bron Gillan

I was born in Tbilisi in 1965' but have been living in NY since 75'. I Never knew they married in Goergia? They must've fallen in love with the Culture and People. Also didn't know She passed last yr. Very Sad😢Ian is one of Heroes despite the animosity between He and Ritchie.
So sorry to hear that Ian Gillan's wife died. My husband died 2 and a half years ago at age 59. That's too young, but for the partner left behind, any age is too young. My condolences to Ian and Grace and all of the Gillan family.🥺

@@peterkent1582 I just wanted to tell you that I threw myself into my grief so that I would survive it. It took a couple of years, but I'm okay now. I'm happy with my life as it is and hope to see my husband again one day. It's accepting the loss that mitigates the sting of it, however, the pain just becomes part of you but still you move on. I'll probably never have another man in my life, but my son has been an amazing young man and I have friends. I'm disabled, so he takes care of me by just being there. It's good for us both. My daughter has trouble grieving her Dad, and she is seeking help for that. So the gist of this is that we are doing pretty well at this time. Thanks for your concern and care...it means a lot to me. Thank you.☺️
My heart goes out to Ian, Grace and all those who suffer this loss. WAY TOO SOON TO LOSE THIS GENTLE HEART.
What a beautiful woman, who loved her family deeply. May she rest in peace and may Ian, Grace and all that knew and loved her, find comfort in their memories of her. Thanks, Ian for giving so much of yourself so others could get lost in your unparalled voice.
Proves you can reach legendary levels world wide without living your life in the papers. God bless Bron and may Ian, Grace and friends carry her in their hearts forever.
Ian was fortunate to have such a lovely person in his life. Condolences to all.
I love Deep Purple but I've no interest in celebrity, however I've always had the impression that Ian Gillan is a genuine nice man. Very sorry for his loss.
Never met you Ian but have seen you in concert and Purple has been like a religion to me most of my life. Keep strong mate and so sorry to hear about this
Another enormous talent says good bye too millions of fans. It was the first Rock band that would use a full orchestra to do an album. Amazing, Deep Purple took rock & roll by storm with Richy Blackmores blazing guitar and Gillians powerful voice would pierce your ears an cement their songs into your brain. Sweet child in time, Space Truckin ,Smoke on the Water , Highway Star , Speed King , Burn , I mean this band kicks in , you better be wearing a seat belt. Too all the Deep Purples members an family my condolences go out to you. My prayers are with you all. Thank you Ian for your powerful voice that I've enjoyed all these years, Thank you Deep Purple for all Heart pounding Rock & Roll.
Ian has been a true pioneer in rock history and in my life since I was a kid. I am sorry for your loss, to you and your lovely daughter.
Played football against you, Ian, when you were the goalie for Pangbourne Fire Station. You signed my Deep Purple albums after the game, a true gent. There are really no words, so sorry for your loss xx

Just heard about this, one of the best!
Thank you for posting this Igor, I grew up listening to Deep Purple and Gillan among other great rock bands. After having a row with my dad when I was about 13, I took one of his ball pein hammers, smashed the cash box where mine and my sisters Woolwich building society books were, took mine, went into town and bought Made In Japan. Which remains one of my all time favourite albums to this day, 43 years later! I knew nothing of Ian Gillans beloved wife and daughter, what beautiful, down to earth people. My sincere condolences to Ian and Grace. May Bron rest in peace 🙏
So sorry to hear Jan Gillan wife is dead only 67 year old, so sad. Known Deep Purple since 69, so have followed a long time. ☮️😢
RIP Bron! I'm so sorry you have to deal with her loss, Ian and Grace!
R.I.P. Bron. Deep Purple is one of my favorite bands.
Ian Gillan is one of the greatest rock vocalists, lyricists and front men in history.. Always been a massive fan of him particular Gillan who are one of my favorite bands. I didn't know his wife Bron, he sensibly kept her out of the limelight along with Grace. They both seem to be lovely people and reflect Ian's character. I know he is a God fearing man. My condolences to Ian and his family. RIP Bron. God bless you. 🙏
RIP Bron. My condolences to Ian and Grace and their family, this is awful.

So very sorry for Ian and Grace and every Gillan extended family member. I have been a fan of Ian's as long as I can remember. One of my best memories is meeting Ian in Buffalo and telling him that I named my son after him. Ian was genuinely touched - just saying this to get my point across of what an amazing man he is and I'm sure he was an amazing husband and father. We are all saddened at the news....My sympathies to him and all who know him and his family.
What a lovely lady Bron was - taken way before her time - God bless Ian and the family, sympathies - God please give them strength during these trying grieving times -- RIP Bron.
RIP Bron Gillan. My condolences to Ian Gillan and his family.
Ian is one of my heroes, since I first heard him in Jesus Christ Superstar. I feel some of his loss.
Mother and daughter look like best pals and so happy in each others company ! What a delightful video with people who appreciate and enjoy life and all its ups and downs .....God Bless....
I am devastated to hear this sad news for Ian Gillan and his family. What a legend Ian Gillan is and what a range on his amazing rock voice. The best in the business. His personal life is never how you'd think it would be for such a rock icon. May God bless their family. Their music will never be forgotten, nor will Ian. Music, no matter what genre it is, touches the hearts of those who experienced Ian Gillan and Deep Purple perform live. God bless you all and take comfort in the Lord's (no pun intended) love for all of you. Ian has been an idol for all those who have envied his God given voice. In all sincerity, we Love and pray for you and your family in such a sad situation. We all know that we each must experience it, yet when it comes we need the Lord Jesus Christ in our lives to help us suffer through these things more than at any time in our lives. God bless.
RIP Bron and a very sensible and down to earth daughter... Well nothing needs to be said about Ian Gillan, In my humble opinion a man with a voice that can almost shatter glass.
Ian wrote "Keep it Warm" on the Sabbath Born Again album for Bron. My favorite song on the album. My condolences to Ian and his daughter.

“Don’t hold me back” ( from “Toolbox” ) was also dedicated to her. He said he wrote when she was going through some health issues, she had heart surgery, if I remember correctly.
To everybody related to Bron! I lived in Osaka age 22 y in 1984. On a winter day I walked in Osaka on a lonely sunday afternoon. Then suddenly I encountered 3 white tall European looking guys! DEEP PURPLE! ( without Ian Paice, he is American). They wondered why I was the only European guy on the street. I asked them the same question and we had a nice chat. They where so kind! 👉🏼Fun fact: a few months later I went to London to visit my uncle who worked as a tour manager for several bands ….The Commodores….and DEEP PURPLE…. The world is a small place. Grrs from Belgium. 😊

I thought you might like this story......I got a transistor radio for Christmas 1970. I was 7 years old. Since all the rock stations played 3 bands in particular, I became a big fan of Purple 💜 very quickly. That was one of 3. The other two were Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Since I was so young, I didn't even realize the importance of CSNY at the time! Now my favorite 3 bands are The Darkness, Tool and Purple. Some things never change! My younger brother has a son, and he and his wife named him Ian, after Ian Gillan! I didn't even ask my bro until about 5 years ago, cause I suspected but wasn't sure. So I asked my brother, " Did you name Ian after Ian Gillan?" He said yes, but looked embarrassed. I said, "You are the coolest brother EVER!" I just had a feeling about that. 😆

Some of us know their loved one/ones are ill and won't stay with us for a longer time.. But it's often always to early. We think we are ready to face these hard moments... but do we really are? Holy *****, I'm really sad. May the force and/or "God" be with Ian and Grace at such difficult times.

Born and raised in Rutland VT. I'd heard stories of "Purple" coming to VT. for years. Always heard Killington Ski area was a favorite place. I sadly never knew about it until after the fact but I was told they (Deep Purple) were right in Rutland and spent a little time here rehearsing for the "Perfect Strangers" album while they were here. Mind blowing to think such heroes of mine all the way from England were right here in my home town just a couple blocks from where I grew up I only wished I'd known. MK 2 Purple was always my favorite line up of the band and I remember being really excited to learn they were back together again and they were so close and I never knew it until after the fact. So sad for Ian and his daughter Bron seemed like a lovely soul.

Man I am broken. I have no words to describe the emptiness. Without Ian and Deep Purple, Rock-N-Roll would have been easy-listening music and not the great Classic Rock we know of today. We are loosing all the Greats ! "HEAVEN JUST TOOK ANOTHER BLUES SINGER BACK HOME" ✌️

I've been a big fan of DEEP PURPLE since the year 1968. I've had the privilege of seeing all line-ups of the group with the exception of MARK I. My admiration for JAN GILLAN is still boundless and in the 70's I started singing trying to redo his vocal timbres and his movements on stage that over time have entered my heart and blood.Today I learn with great regret of the grave mourning that has struck the GILLAN FAMILY... The beloved BRON has always lived peacefully in the shadows, allowing each of US FANS to possess "a piece of his great love" JAN GILLAN!!! Now that BRON has flown to a better world, she will be able to understand how much LOVE there was in those HIGH VOCALS that JAN shouted to heaven maybe also for HER Dearest JAN think that now in your atrocious silence you will always have inside you that BIG LOVE that BRON left you and if you close your eyes you will see his hand, you will feel him shake yours and you will be able to let yourself be carried away towards that WORLD BEST where SHE will wait for you forever.
