Very sad day, John Wetton of Uriah Heep, King Crimson and Asia died today due to complications of colon cancer.
I saw him with Uriah Heep and U.K. in late 70's when they opened for Jethro Tull and knew then he was a talented dude. Been a fan of King Crimson and Asia from all early days. Another good one gone. Based on his cause of death reminds me all over 50 need get colon checked.

Wow, another one gone. I didn't get very deep into his playing, but he was a bit of an influence on me early on.
+1 on the colon cancer screenings for any guys over 50 (or earlier with risk factors). Without regular screenings, the first symptoms may show up when it's too late.

tremendous loss - a modern musical icon.
UK's 1st record, and my introduction to Holdsworth, remains timeless and often listened to in my collection, after nearly 40 years.
ditto re: Asia's 1st record.
Goeff Downes' words are special, thx Sam for that link!
