But yeah, you’re right: people do consider me a straightforward rick singer. And one of them was not really a review but an attack on the writer and producer Milen Vrabevski, so I wouldn’t take that seriously. There have been one or two reviews which were not so good, but that’s OK. Most of the reviews that we’ve had of the album have been very, very good, very positive. So is there a style that you think you cannot handle? – About recording and, in particular, your last one that surprised some reviewers with its pop side… Many people see you as a straightforward hard rock singer, but I’ve always maintained that you can handle everything. Yes, he’s an imperial little boy! Recording studio’s already booked. Have just become a grandfather again.Ī little grandson who is doing really, really well.
Yeah, but I must have had a drink at the same time, surely. – John, it’s been… How long? Ten years since we… Yet what exactly John’s been doing lately? Over to him. But I am sure things will work out well”. Because of the present situation with the guys, the absence of Trevor Bolder and now Bernie, time is short, so we must revert back to some of the older material, which, perhaps, HEEP don’t play at the moment. I know the expectations are high, but the fans must remember life goes on, and I am older, but the best shot is given at all times. I have done it before, back in 1995, for the same reasons: Bernie Shaw being ill. Says Lawton, “Joining HEEP for a few gigs is a bit nostalgic but, hopefully, fun. But then, in a weird turn of events, John had to step in the breach in the HEEP ranks again. There was no intention to be reminiscing on the past: we were there before. In John’s case it has been so, indeed, as the veteran crossed over to some other art, yet such a byroad eventually brought him back on the groovy track, which resulted in "The Power Of Mind" , a project by Bulgarian band DIANA EXPRESS that Lawton gave an English voice to.Īnd that was the reason for our informal (how else could two people, who know each other for a long time, go?) chat. When a booming voice like that of John Lawton, mostly known for his glorious stints with URIAH HEEP and LUCIFER’S FRIEND, goes silent for some time, there’s a suspicion the master of those pipes is up to something.
