URIAH HEEP – “The Magician’s Farewell” Tour Announced

British hard rock and heavy metal legends URIAH HEEP has announced that next year, they will end their career with the “Magician’s Farewell” tour, marking the beginning of their final plans to tour around the world. In a video posted to YouTube, guitarist Mick Box states:

“Hello there. It’s Mick from the mighty Heep. And who can believe next year is 55 years since the band started, and that’s just so amazing. I know many of you have been with us since the beginning, and we do thank you for that. It means the world to us.

“Unfortunately, we have made the decision to wind down touring the whole world next year under the title of Magician’s Farewell. In fact, The Magician’s Farewell.

“Over the next two to three years, we intend to play as many places as possible and see you all for the one last time. We will continue to play shows, but these will be limited to festivals and weekends and things like that. But the tour dates will be announced starting February 2025, so we hope to see you all out there.

“On behalf of the band and myself, I wanna thank you all for the continued support you have always given us. It means the world to us, and it means so much to us, and I just wanna thank you for that. Happy days.”

Uriah Heep released their first studio record, “… Very ‘eavy, Very ‘umble” in 1970 and their latest, and twenty fifth full length album, “Chaos & Colour” came out in January last year through Silver Lining Music. Throughout their career, Mick Box has been the sole constant member, while vocalist Bernie Shaw and keyboard player Phil Lanzon have been the second longest serving members, having joined in 1986.
