The former lead singer of the British hard rock band Uriah Heep (“Lady in Black”) is dead. John Lawton died unexpectedly on June 29, according to a message on the band’s website. He did not suffer from any illness. “He died peacefully at his wife’s side,” it said. He is buried with his family and close friends. Lawton lived to be 74 years old, according to several media reports.
Although Lawton only joined the band after their big breakthrough and was only a short member, he was involved in the production of four albums. Including “Firefly”, “Innocent Victim” and “Fallen Angel”. The song “Free Me” was particularly successful from this time.
