In a world of ever-changing music and fleeting fame, one man continues to carry the torch of a legendary legacy — Mick Box, the founding guitarist and driving force behind the iconic rock band Uriah Heep. As the only original member still active since the band’s formation in 1969, Box stands as both a living link to the group’s storied past and a guiding light for its future.

Following the heartbreaking losses of drummer Lee Kerslake and keyboardist Ken Hensley in 2020, Mick Box became not only the last founding member still performing but also the last surviving member of Uriah Heep’s classic lineup — the one that built the foundation of British hard rock in the 1970s. Despite the passage of time, his passion for music and connection with fans remains undiminished.
Today, at 78, Mick Box continues to tour and record with Uriah Heep, inspiring countless musicians and fans worldwide. His infectious optimism and unwavering spirit have made him a beloved figure in the rock community — proof that legends never truly fade.
