Trevor Bolder is going into hospital for an operation which will require several months\u2019 recuperation.\u00a0 Everyone connected with Uriah Heep wishes Trevor a speedy operation and recovery, and Trevor\u2019s wishes are that the band should carry on without him, until he is fit and ready to come back. <\/p>\n

Venerated bass player John [JJ] Jowitt has agreed to deputise for Trevor at short notice,\u00a0 to ensure that the band’s show in Israel at the end of January can still go ahead,
Having spent 20 years with IQ, plus varying stints with Ark, Arena, Jadis, Frost and other respected bands, John is renowned for his on-stage charisma and has won Classic Rock Society\u2019s Bass poll on no less than 10 separate occasions.<\/p>\n

Mick Box said:- \u201cWe all wish Trevor a speedy return to the fold, and in the meantime we are very pleased that JJ has agreed to step in and cover Trev\u2019s unique bass panache, so crucial to Heep\u2019s sound.\u00a0 JJ will also contribute to the signature 5-part vocal operatics\u201d.<\/p>\n

John Jowitt said:- \u201cI have long been an admirer of Trevor Bolder\u2019s iconic playing, and it is a huge honour to be asked to stand in for one of the all-time greats of the bass.\u00a0 I intend to bring due respect to the legend that is Uriah Heep,\u00a0 and I hope I can do justice to Trevor\u2019s presence, both on and off stage\u201d.<\/p>\n

We know all of you out there will support Trevor and the Band as we move forward together into 2013.\u00a0 Trevor will use his recuperation period to write songs for the new Uriah Heep album, the follow up to Into The Wild, which will be put together in the next 12 months.<\/p>\n
