John Wetton (ex- Family and King Crimson ) joined the band in March 1975 and with him Return to Fantasy (June 1975) was recorded; representing a revitalised Uriah Heep, it soared up to No. 7 in the UK. “It was a relief to have someone solid and reliable, and he had a load of ideas too”, Box remembered. The following “Year-long world tour” (according to a headline in NME ), was marred by a new accident. Mick Box fell off stage in Louisville, Kentucky , on 2 August 1975, breaking the radial bone in his right arm (but he persevered through both the set and the tour, receiving three injections a night). On 26 March 1976 at Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul, Minnesota , John Wetton had an accident of his own when he (like his predecessor, Thain) received an electric shock on stage.
