Ritchie Blackmore 'couldn't care less' about Hall Of Fame

Deep Purple are finally up for possible induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but former member Ritchie Blackmore really 'couldn't care less.'

The guitarist was a member of Deep Purple from its inception in 1968 until 1975 and again from 1984 to 1993. He now fronts Blackmore's Night with his wife.

Blackmore told Billboard 'Personally, I couldn't care less. I would never go. I'm not really a fan of that stuff. Considering some of the people that are in the Hall of Fame, I'm not sure if it's a good idea, so I don't care one way or the other, actually.

I think our fans seem to care more than I do. They're always saying, 'You should be in the Hall of Fame. You should be in this, you should be in that.' If I can pay the bills, that's all I care about.'
