Ken Hensley, former Uriah Heep Vocalist, Songwriter and Multi-Instrumentalist, passed away peacefully on 4th November 2020, following a very short illness.
Ken Hensley was one of the most important musicians of the past half-a-century. His work with Uriah Heep in the 1970s helped to make the band hugely influential.
He also collaborated with bands such as Blackfoot, W.a.s.p. and Cinderella, as well as building a very successful solo career. As a writer he was responsible for such classics as ‘Lady In Black’, ‘Easy Livin”, ‘July Morning’ and ‘Look At Yourself’.
Uriah Heep’s Mick Box had this to say on the passing of his bandmate ”I am in deep shock at the news Ken Hensley has passed away, and my sincere condolences go to his family and wife Monica. Ken wrote some amazing songs in his tenure with the band, and they will remain a musical legacy that will be in people’s hearts forever. Rest In Peace Ken.”
Ken Hensley had recently finished work on a new project ‘My Book Of Answers’, which is due for release February 2021.
