Uriah Heep came through during the UK's heavy rock movement of the late 60's, with bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
They went on to sell more than 40 million records worldwide. The bands original singer, David Byron was sacked in 1976 when his behaviour and stage performances were suffering due to his drinking.
But, in the 80's, ever present guitarist, Mick Box, tried to convince David to re-join the band. But Byron was in a bad place and much to Mick's disappointment, didnt take up the offer.
In this video Mick talks about just how good David Byron was for Uriah Heep and then details what happened when he tried to get him to come back to the band.
Despite Byron refusing to return, the band have continued on throughout the decades and have a new album about to be released! Chaos and Colour, Uriah Heeps 25th studio album, is a return to force for the band and is set to be released on January 27th. The lead single from the album, Save Me Tonight, is another powerful melodic rock song which will surely become a firm fans favourite.
