He is an American citizen who is a dual citizen of both the US as well as the UK.

Coverdale was born on 22 September 1951, in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Riding of Yorkshire, England son of Thomas Joseph Coverdale and Winnifred May (Roberts) Coverdale. Around the age of 14, he began performing professionally and developing his voice. “I don’t think my voice had broken,” he explained to Sounds in 1974. “And that’s when I first learnt how to sing with my stomach, which sounds silly, but it’s totally different from a normal voice.” Coverdale started performing with local bands Vintage 67 (1966–68), The Government (1968–72) and Fabulosa Brothers (1972–73).

Rather than disbanding, Coverdale was instrumental in persuading the band to continue with American guitarist Tommy Bolin (of Billy Cobham and The James Gang fame). As Jon Lord put it, “David Coverdale came up to me and said, ‘Please keep the band together.’ David played me the album that Tommy did with Billy Cobham. We liked his playing on it and invited Tommy to audition.'” The band released one studio album with Bolin, Come Taste the Band in 1975. The album was less successful than previous records, and at the end of the tour, in March 1976, Coverdale reportedly walked off in tears and handed in his resignation, to which he was told there was no band left to quit. The decision to disband Deep Purple had been made some time before the last show by Lord and Ian Paice (the last remaining original members), who had not told anyone else. The break-up was finally made public in July 1976. Said Coverdale in an interview: “I was frightened to leave the band. Purple was my life, Purple gave me my break, but all the same I wanted out.”

After the demise of Deep Purple, Coverdale embarked on a solo career. He released his first album in February 1977, titled White Snake. All songs were written by Coverdale and guitarist Micky Moody. As his first solo effort, Coverdale later admitted: “It’s very difficult to think back and talk sensibly about the first album. White Snake had been a very inward-looking, reflective and low-key affair in many ways, written and recorded as it was in the aftermath of the collapse of Deep Purple.” Even though the album was not successful, its title inspired the name of Coverdale’s future band.
