Glenn Hughes issues Heavy video starring Chili Pepper Chad
Exclusive: Watch video for Glenn Hughes track Heavy – featuring Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on drums

Glenn Hughes is premiering the video for his new single Heavy exclusively with TeamRock.
The track is taken from Hughes’ upcoming solo album Resonate, which is released on November 4 via Frontiers Music Srl.
Heavy features Red Hot Chili Peppers man Chad Smith on drums and he also appears in the promo, which can be viewed below.
Hughes is joined on Resonate by his live bandmates, guitarist Soren Andersen, drummer Pontus Engborg and keyboard player Lachy Doley. Smith drums on two tracks.
Hughes previously said of Resonate: “This is my first solo album in almost eight years as I’ve been busy doing other projects. This album is definitely rock – acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, drums – all organic vintage instruments – the most grounded rock album I’ve made to date.
“This could be the album I think my fans have been waiting for. I’ve put every single piece of love and soul and heart into this record.”
Smith, who has been friends with Hughes for years, added: “We know each other so well and it’s always fun because playing with Glenn, like any real artist, is always trying to grow and change and do new things.
