Hughes recently released his long-awaited autobiography, Deep Purple And Beyond: Scenes From The Life Of A Rock Star, via Foruli Publications. The book was co-written with Joel McIver and features an introduction by Metallica's Lars Ulrich.

Deep Purple And Beyond: Scenes From The Life Of A Rock Star features contributions from Hughes' friend and comrade in Deep Purple David Coverdale, his lifelong musical collaborator Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath and a host of others, including Angie Bowie, John Varvatos and the members of The KLF (with whom Hughes scored a global hit in 1991).
