Ken Hensley - Passed Away


Uriah Heep have posted on their Facebook profile that their former keyboardist Ken Hensley (1970-1980) has passed away. After he had left the band, he focused only on his solo career.

Mick Box from Uriah Heep said the following: ''I received devastating news from Ken's manager Steve Weltman that Ken Hensley has passed away. I had just finished watching his video of the unboxing of the '50th Anniversary Box Set' last night, where he seemed absolutely fine and justifiably proud of his time in Uriah Heep, which has just added to the shock.

"We may not have always been the best of friends, but there were some wonderful times we shared too, which are the ones I will always remember. 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.

"His communication through lyrics and melody have stood the test of time, and with the power and chemistry of the band bringing those songs to life, we achieved success we could only have dreamed of. My sincere condolences go to his family and wife Monica and may he rest in peace."

So sad. Earlier this week I read in Sweden Rock Magazine a interview with him speaking about the loss of Lee Kerslake. The next day the news about Ken Hensley death surfaced

He also played on W.A.S.P.'s The Headless Children. Blackie shared this post. He was a big part of the reason why Uriah Heep sounded so great in the '70s.
