Glenn Hughes (born 21 August 1951) is an English singer and bassist, and former lead vocalist of Black Sabbath. He was previously a member of Finders Keepers, Trapeze, and Deep Purple, and guested as a backing vocalist on the Whitesnake album Slip of the Tongue, prior to joining Black Sabbath in 1985, in which he replaced Jeff Fenholt, who left the band due to controversy involving his Christian evangelist background. Hughes would record one album with the band, Seventh Star, which was originally written, recorded, and intended to be the first solo album by Tony Iommi. Because of the pressures from Warner Bros. Records and the prompting of band manager Don Arden, the record was billed as Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi.
