Ken Hensley dead at 75 2020-11-05 by manosg EMERITUS | 14 Comments | Former Uriah Heep keyboardist and multi-instrumentalist Ken Hensley passed away on November 4. His brother, Trevor Hensley, shared the news in a Facebook post, today and noted that Ken will be cremated in a private ceremony in Spain.
Hensley was born in Plumstead, south-east London, on 24 August 1945, and was mostly known for being a founding member of influential hard rock band, Uriah Heep. Ken left the band in 1980 as a result of being unhappy with the musical direction the Londoners had chosen. From 1985, he lived in semi-retirement in St Louis, Missouri, making a few appearances with W.A.S.P. (Headless Children) and Cinderella, among others.

Incredibly talented and painfully underrated. RIP.

Rest in Peace, Ken. Only a short time after Lee Kerslake too :'(

Still haven't checked a lot of his Uriah or solo work, but the stuff I've heard is quality. Shame.
| | |
easily the core of the best era of the band. he wrote most if not all of their best/biggest songs, but of course Byron and Box get more credit
| | |
Rest in peace, just recently I started listening to Uriah
| | |
Rest in peace
| | |
RIP, he lived his dream.

RIP. Uriah Heep was never quite the same musically after he left. And yes, this comes too soon after Lee Kerslake.
| | |
He nailed the hammond sound every time RIP

RIP, two Uriah Heep members gone in a short time

He was the mastermind behind one of the most underrated bands of the 70's
