Blaze Bayley, the vocalist of Wolfsbane and former singer of Iron Maiden, has announced that he will be parting ways with his namesake band. A message from Bayley reads as follows:

"Due to financial and medical reasons I’ve been forced to part ways with the band. I will give a full statement in the next few days about my future plans.

"I hope that all my fans will keep on supporting me in my further projects. The English dates will be postponed to December but the festivals in Germany, Sweden, Lithuania and the show in Istanbul will definitely proceed!"

It's a real shame that he has such bad luck because he really is a gentleman and a dedicated performer. I hope this doesn't affect the Wolfsbane reunion and that he gets better soon.

"medical reasons"... I wonder what's really going on?

And agreed, no luck for poor Blaze. First he gets complitely erased from the Maiden "best of", now this.

He definitely deserves better.
