Firing from Uriah Heep[edit]

There is considerable dispute regarding the reason for Thain being sacked from Uriah Heep; while it has been claimed by manager Gerry Bron that it was due to his unreliability from drug use, it followed directly after the publishing of an interview in which Thain was harshly critical of the band's management and their lack of sympathy to his need to fully recuperate from his (nearly fatal) electrocution injuries. This should be reflected in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.166.198.190 (talk) 15:05, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Book[edit]

There is a biographical book about Gary on the market since 2009, written by former Austrian girlfriend Sonja Wagner, "Gary Thain - Meister der tiefen Töne". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:4905:A1F1:DCA0:5693:A420:DA69 (talk) 18:50, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In that book, the author clearly states that Thain did not die from a heroin overdose as she was handed out the documents after his death.

True! She is still the legal owner of the Coroner's papers and the original death certificate. Such should find mentioning within the article. Also, there is not a single word about his offspring still alive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:C0:DF1B:E700:D115:5BE6:BC99:C028 (talk) 05:16, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
