The music world was shaken Monday by the news that Paul Di’Anno, an establishing part and previous frontman for the unbelievable band Iron Maiden, has passed on.
He was 66.
Iron Maiden shared the news through an emotional post via social platform.
“We are profoundly disheartened to find out about the death of Paul Di’Anno recently,” a post on the band’s X record read. “Paul’s commitment to Iron Maiden was colossal and assisted set us the way we have been going as a band for very nearly fifty years. His spearheading presence as a frontman and entertainer, both in front of an audience and on our initial two albums, will be affectionately recollected by us, yet by fans all over the planet”
The band’s bassist, Steve Harris, was quoted in the post.
“It’s simply so miserable he’s gone,” Harris said. “I was in contact with him as of late as we messaged each other about West Ham and their promising and less promising times. Basically he was all the while gigging up to this point, it was something that pushed him along, to be out there at whatever point he could. He will be remembered fondly by all of us. Rest in peace mate.”
Yet again the band finished off the post by expressing, “We were extremely thankful to have gotten the opportunity to make up for lost time quite a while back and invest energy with him.”
“In the interest of the band, Rod and Andy, and the entire Iron Maiden group, we stretch out our most profound feelings to Paul’s family and dear companions,” the post read. “Find happiness in the hereafter Paul.”
