Tributes are paid to a "world-class" rock musician who played with Bowie’s Spiders From Mars and Uriah Heep.

 

Uriah Heep and Spiders From Mars bassist Trevor Bolder has died from cancer, aged 62.

 

Bolder joined David Bowie's backing band in 1971, appearing on classic albums including Hunky Dory and Aladdin Sane. He went on to join Uriah Heep five years later and only stopped playing with the band a few months ago, due to his poor health.
