An exclusive interview with Deep Purple’s
Don Airey’s wife

An exclusive interview with Doris Airey, the wife of famous Don Airey: the
former musician with Deep Purple and Ozzy Osborne.

Deep Purple last performed live in 2013 and Don has been playing keyboard with
them since he joined in 2002.

His wife, Doris Airey, was kind enough to answer a few questions about life being
married to a famous rock star.

Doris’ side of the family came from Rhodesia and she met Don at a nightclub when
she came over for a year as a research nurse. She “never went back home.”

When she met Don he was already into music. He started out as a classical
musician, until he broke his arm, which forced him to change his genre of music to
rock. However, you will still find him playing classical when he can.

When our interviewer asked Doris: “What career would you have liked Don to have?”
She replied: “I can’t imagine Don being anything other than a musician. There were
times, especially when the children were small, when a 9am to 5pm job would have
been nice because I was parenting on my own and none of my family were over
here.”

Don’s inflated ego didn’t effect Doris in pursuing her own career, because she was
determined to be different from a typical famous musician’s wife, who was showered
in money and gifts. There were times when her career provided extra stability
because she didn’t want to live a “fantasy lifestyle.”

Doris’ predominant job was working at Bourn Hall in Cambridgeshire. She said that
working there was very rewarding, “200%”. She enjoyed the job to a great extent,
although there was some sadness within it - IVF success rates are not high and to
see the disappointment in people’s eyes really hurt her. However, she did say that “it
was wonderful to bring such joy and to see such wanted and precious children come
into the world.”
