URIAH HEEP guitarist Mick Box is seeking to recover a cross necklace that he says was snatched from his neck by a cyclist over the weekend.
The 77-year-old British-born musician, whose band launched a South American tour on April 4 in Montevideo, Uruguay, took to his Facebook page on Saturday (April 12) to write:
“Unfortunately I was walking back from lunch in Curitiba Brazil when a cyclist rode past me at speed and ripped off and stole my cross necklace that has great sentimental value to me. It is gold with diamonds inserted in the cross. If anyone has any information about this in Curitiba there would be a very worthwhile reward on its return. He may try and sell it or pawn it and thanks for reading this! Please contact me via www.uriah-heep.com or www.mick-box.net or even on Facebook.“
