Police in Southampton, England, are on the lookout for a man impersonating Ritchie Blackmore.

According to reports, the man has been making personal appearances, collecting money by selling his autograph and then disappearing. Police got a tip that he had checked into a hospital, but he was gone when they got there. A nurse said the imposter even wrote her a song. Blackmore himself says, 'Why didn't he pick on someone more famous?'
