David Coverdale Jewish rumour

My family and I hosted the family of one of my son's friends at school for tea today. Over scones and sandwiches, the father said that he had heard David Coverdale was Jewish. I've never heard that before and google doesn't appear to confirm it. Anyone know if this is true? Seems unlikely to me...

I wonder if the rumour has anything to do with the father of his ex-wife (Tawny Kitaen) being Jewish. As far as I know she was raised either Protestant or Catholic.
