Editing Deep Purple (section)

===Mark V (1989–1992)===
Gillan was fired in 1989; his relations with Blackmore had again soured, and their musical differences had diverged too far. Originally, the band intended to recruit [[Survivor (band)|Survivor]] frontman [[Jimi Jamison]] as Gillan's replacement. After two weeks of sessions with the band, however, Jamison announced he could not join Deep Purple owing to complications with [[Scotti Brothers Records]], his record label.<ref name="aor.nu">{{cite web |url=http://www.aor.nu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=70&Itemid=108 |title=Interview: Jimi Jamison |publisher=aor.nu |access-date=15 December 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724190412/http://www.aor.nu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=70&Itemid=108 |archive-date=24 July 2011 }}</ref><ref name="picturedwithtin.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.picturedwithin.com/interviews/tbro_int.html |title=25 Years of Deep Purple The Battle Rages On...:Interview with Jon Lord |publisher=pictured within.com |access-date=15 December 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100517061304/http://www.picturedwithin.com/interviews/tbro_int.html |archive-date=17 May 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Eventually, after auditioning several high-profile candidates, including [[Brian Howe (singer)|Brian Howe]] ([[White Spirit (band)|White Spirit]], [[Ted Nugent]], [[Bad Company]]), [[Doug Pinnick]] ([[King's X]]), Australians [[Jimmy Barnes]] ([[Cold Chisel]]) and [[John Farnham]] ([[Little River Band]]), Terry Brock (Strangeways, [[Giant (band)|Giant]]) and Norman "Kal" Swan ([[Tytan (band)|Tytan]], [[Lion (band)|Lion]], [[Bad Moon Rising (band)|Bad Moon Rising]]),<ref name="Thompson2004pp259">{{cite book |title=Smoke on the Water: The Deep Purple Story |year=2004 |author=Dave Thompson |page=259}}</ref> the band agreed on [[Joe Lynn Turner]], who had previously been a member of Rainbow with Blackmore and Glover. This Mark V line-up recorded just one album, ''[[Slaves and Masters]]'' (1990), and undertook a world tour for most of 1991. The album achieved modest success, reaching number 45 in the UK and number 87 in the US ''Billboard'' chart,<ref name="AllMusic.com">{{cite web |url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p4061/charts-awards|pure_url=yes}} |title=Billboard album listings for Deep Purple |publisher=AllMusic.com}}</ref> with some fans and critics feeling the music was closer in style to Rainbow than to Deep Purple.
