David Byron (29 January 1947 – 28 February 1985, born as David Garrick). British singer and songwriter best known for fronting Uriah Heep. He was lead vocalist for Spice (15) (an early incarnation of Uriah Heep) from 1967 to 1969. From 1968 he also worked as a session vocalist working at City of London Studios and PYE Studios for Avenue Recordings. His early work for the budget label was all cover versions and all uncredited.
