A Brit by birth, John Lawton moved to Hamburg, Germany, when he was with a band called Stone Wall. He stayed there when the band moved on, feeling that this might be the place to get his break. He didn't have to wait long, as <a href="spotify:artist:2lO0iDc9iMWfHpDZ1vReBk">Lucifer's Friend</a> got in touch with him to have him work with them. He recorded their debut release, Lucifer's Friend, with them. His next group was Les Humphries Singers. He managed to do work of these bands concurrently, as <a href="spotify:artist:2lO0iDc9iMWfHpDZ1vReBk">Lucifer's Friend</a> was only a studio group.
He continued doing double duty until 1976 when he became the new singer for <a href="spotify:artist:45O9BwPMyywM755SYUK0sP">Uriah Heep</a>. He remained with the group for the next three years, leaving to pursue a solo career. His solo album didn't light up the charts, though, and Lawton returned to both Les Humphries Singers and <a href="spotify:artist:2lO0iDc9iMWfHpDZ1vReBk">Lucifer's Friend</a>. He also formed a band called Gun Hill and kept himself busy performing with all three of those groups. John Lawton died on June 29, 2021 in Bulgaria at the age of 74. ~ TiVo Staff, Rovi
