[Heeplist] Trevor Bolder News

Tue May 21 19:57:57 EDT 2013

I am crushed as most all of you are.  I saw Gary Thain only in video.
Trevor Bolder WAS the bass player for Heep in every album I purchased off
the shelf new and every show I ever saw live.  I'm so sad to hear this news.

Long live the memory of Trevor Bolder and all he did for music.  
Gutted.

??????Truly a sad day.??????????????????????????  
Friends of Uriah Heep
about an hour ago
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".

Indeed Bob 

For my part Trevor has been one of the most importent members since I saw
Heep for the first time around 1977.

Well it is  some years since I did have my say on the list. But today is not
the day for silence but very much for remembering.
