Gary Thain – 15/05/1948 – 08/12/1975
Electric Shock, STD, Heroin overdose. The final days of the Uriah Heep bassist certainly typified rock ‘n’ roll excess. Drug addiction resulted in a string of poor performances, forcing the band to relieve Thain of his services. During his final tour with the band Thain sustained a serious electric shock and contracted an incurable sexual disease. He eventually died of a heroin overdose.
