Ken Hensley, a former keyboardist for the British rock band Uriah Heep, has died at the age of 75, the BBC wrote. Hensley was also the author of many of the band’s early songs, including Easy Livin ‘, Stealin’, and Lady in Black.
The musician passed away Wednesday night after a brief illness.
His manager confirmed.
The news of Ken Hensley’s death touched me deeply, and I extend my condolences to the family and Hensley’s wife, Monica. Ken wrote amazing songs while he was with us, his musical heritage will always live in people’s hearts.
He tweeted the microblogging Mick Box, who has led Uriah Heep for more than four decades. Blending hard and progressive rock, the band peaked in the 1970s. Hensley’s performance on the keyboard was a hallmark of their sound. The set borrowed its name from one of the characters in the famous David Copperfield novel by English writer Charles Dickens.
In an interview published last week on the Eon Music portal, Hensley spoke of a period in which millions of records were sold and his concerts filled stages.
Honestly, it was like a crazy dream. I think we were all a little dizzy from the whole thing.
He said.
In the late 1970s, Hensley left the band, shortly after forming his own band called Ken Hensley and Live Fire. However, he performed many times with his former bandmates.
Another member of Uriah Heep, drummer Lee Kerslake, died in September of this year.
