Uriah Heep

A message from Uriah Heep:

"Uriah Heep and Crew would like to wish all the 'Heep' fans around the world a Happy 'Heepy' New Year that brings health, happiness, love, luck and laughter to all of you and your families.
I must say that as we enter a new year we should spare a thought for those less fortunate than ourselves and be ever thankful for what we have.
I hope that 2006 brings you everything that you wish for and as for the band we are looking forward to a very exciting New Year!
I hope you will all be there for the ride and thank you so much for your support over last year as you know it means so much to us.
?Appy New Year, ?
Appy Days!
Mick Box
Uriah Heep & Crew"
