A Statement From Uriah Heep

It is with great sadness that Uriah Heep announce the passing of our friend the 
amazing Trevor Bolder, who has passed away after his long fight with cancer. 
Trevor was an all time great, one of the outstanding m...usicians of his 
generation, and one of the finest and most influential bass players that Britain 
ever produced.

His long time membership of Uriah Heep brought the band’s music, and Trevor’s 
virtuosity and enthusiasm, to hundreds of thousands of fans across the world. He 
joined the band in 1976 and, barring one short break, was a fixture until his 
ill health forced him to take a step back early this year. Prior to joining Heep 
he was a founder and ever-present member of David Bowie’s legendary Spiders From 
Mars band, performing on all of their key albums and at countless shows. He also 
performed with Wishbone Ash, Cybernauts and The Rats.

Mick Box said, "Trevor was a ‘World Class’ bass player, singer & songwriter, and 
more importantly a World Class friend. He will be sadly missed by family, 
friends and rock fans all over the world. We are all numb to the core".
