Trevor Bolder, basistul grupului britanic Uriah Heep s-a stins din viata in data de 21 mai 2013. Artistul in varsta de 62 de ani a fost rapus de cancer. Trupa a publicat prin intermediul site-ului oficial urmatorul mesaj:

It is with great sadness that Uriah Heep announce the passing of our friend the amazing Trevor Bolder, who has passed away after his long fight with cancer. Trevor was an all time great, one of the outstanding musicians of his generation, and one of the finest and most influential bass players that Britain ever produced.

His long time membership of Uriah Heep brought the band’s music, and Trevor’s virtuosity and enthusiasm, to hundreds of thousands of fans across the world. He joined the band in 1976 and, barring one short break, was a fixture until his ill health forced him to take a step back early this year. Prior to joining Heep he was a founder and ever-present member of David Bowie’s legendary Spiders From Mars band, performing on all of their key albums and at countless shows. He also performed with Wishbone Ash, Cybernauts and The Rats.

Mick Box said, "Trevor was a ‘World Class’ bass player, singer & songwriter, and more importantly a World Class friend. He will be sadly missed by family, friends and rock fans all over the world. We are all numb to the core".

Trevor Bolder a facut parte din Uriah Heep in perioadele 1976–1981 si 1983–2013. Artistul a inregistrat alaturi de grupul Wishbone Ash discul Twin Barrels Burning (1982), dar si alaturi de David Bowie albume precum Hunky Dory (1971) si The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972). Uriah Heep va concerta in data de 11 iunie 2013 la Arenele Romane din Bucuresti.
