Wie ein Schulaufsätzchen geschrieben, ist das meiste auch noch abgeschrieben, der Autor soll mal schön den Ball flach halten. Thain hatte das Unglück, unter anderem an einer unheilbaren Geschlechtskrankheit zu leiden, das ist ein Fakt und gehört hier auch rein.

Von der offiziellen Heep-Webseite: One of the group's concerns had been the health of Gary Thain. A strenuous touring schedule, compounded by the bassist's heavy drug dependency (inherent even before joining Heep) was taking its toll, though matters came to a head while on tour during September. Thain was electrocuted while on stage in Dallas - "all I remember is going to the amplifier to adjust the equalisers, the next thing that happened was I blacked out" - resulting in hospitalisation, cancelled dates in America and the postponement of three in England too. Bron was not too sympathetic, thinking of the group's interest, resulting in a war of words that finally spilled out into the pages of Sounds, with the musician complaining that "the music's been forgotten, it's now a financial thing." Bron explained Thain's outburst as "a misunderstanding" in a bid to diffuse the situation but from that moment on Thain's days were surely numbered. Three months later, he was out of the band, with all parties in agreement that he was in no physical condition to continue. On December 8th 1975, Gary Thain, aged 27, was found dead in his Norwood Green home, having overdosed on heroin. Hensley remembers Thain with great affection. "I always loved Gary as a person he had a quality of irresponsibility that I always liked. I think he died because he misjudged what he was doing and it got the better of him." "You couldn't help loving Gary." says Box. "It was just a shame that he had that weakness that he couldn't control." Perhaps his death should not have been too surprising. "I used to spend a lot of time trying to persuade Gary to find another reason to live apart from music." says Bron. Without music, it would seem, Thain obviously had nothing...
