Too much partying!
Uriah Heep "Wonderworld" #38 (1974).Their 7th studio album, "Wonderworld", just doesn't sound as good as past releases. "Suicidal Man", stands as one of Uriah Heep's classic rockers. The orchestrated "The Easy Road", is good also. Gary Thain's drug problems were getting worse as was David Byron who was drinking way too much. On tour Thain got a strong electrical shock onstage, and he fell into a deeper heroin addiction, before the band kicked him out. Thain died in 1975, at the age of 27. "Return To Fantasy", (1975) brought back some power and ex-King Crimson, Family bassist John Wetton.
