Whitesnake leader officially a US citizen

Whitesnake leader David Coverdale realized a long-time dream recently when he became a U.S. citizen. Coverdale, who was born in Saltburn-By-The-Sea in England, has been in America for over 20 years, and he lives near Lake Tahoe, Nevada, with his wife Cindy and their son Jasper. On the official Whitesnake website, the singer wrote, "I am very happy to say that after a five-year process, I successfully applied for, and was granted, U.S. citizenship on March 1st, 2007. I still maintain my British citizenship, though I am proud to say I now have dual citizenship for both Great Britain and the United States Of America, and as it is most unlikely that my two countries will go to war against each other in the foreseeable future, there should be no conflict of interest!"

Coverdale took the oath of citizenship and was sworn in at the Department Of Homeland Security office in Reno, Nevada, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal.

Whitesnake is working on a new album and tour plans for the year.
