Sad news to report. The short lived Uriah Heep and King Crimson bassist/vocalist John Wetton, who was more known for his work with proggers Asia has passed away aged 67, following a battle with cancer, according to his bandmates.

Mick Box from Uriah Heep wrote this message: "I am totally devastated at the news today that John Wetton has passed away. He was a part of Heep history and was a a super talented man. He was also a good friend who over the years I have shared many a laugh with on the road getting up to all sorts of shenanigans. He has left a wealth of music and wonderful songs that will live on forever, and he will be sadly missed. RIP my friend."

Bleh. RIP. He wasn't in King Crimson more than a couple of years but those albums (Larks' and Red) are the best in their discography.

Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Damn, tough times for prog legends, especially bassist/singers formerly of King Crimson.

Rest in Peace, John Wetton.

Sh*t. I know 60 and 70's legends are getting really old now but it's so shocking when they pass. Rest in Peace John
