British rock legends Uriah Heep have announced their farewell tour.

In a video message to fans, Mick Box, the band’s last surviving original member, revealed the news.

“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,” the rocker said in part. “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.”
