Glenn partnered with John Norum with the intention of a long term band project - Hughes/Norum - as reported in an interview with Swedish music magazine, Okej with journalist, Anders Tegner. (Note: a few years later, Tegner would act as Glenn's manager while he was living in Sweden, promoting Glenn's come back and 'From Now On', on Tegner's TV show). John and Glenn started to rehearse with members of Norum's solo band. They played one live show which was broadcast on Swedish National TV at the venue, Scandinavium, in Gothernburg. Songs played included, I Got Your Number, Reach For The Sky and Still The Night. Glenn's first words when entering the stage were, "...it's been a long time, but it's great to be back. Please let me present my new partner, John Norum - great don't you think?". Due to Glenn's still on-going battle with substance abuse, the partnership never flourished and this appearance marked the end of the planned project. |

Later he joins forces with Joe Lynn Turner which resulted in a couple of demo songs - one in particular, Touch Of Love, had potential, but nothing materializes from their short time together.
