Paul Di'Anno Passes Away At 66 Years Old
Metal Underground has sadly learned that Iron Maiden's first vocalist, Paul Di'Anno has passed away at 66 years of age.
Born in Chingford, East London on May 17, 1958, Paul first came to prominence as lead singer of English Heavy Metal band Iron Maiden between 1978 and 1981. He sang on their groundbreaking debut album "Iron Maiden" and the influential follow-up release, "Killers."
Since leaving Iron Maiden, Paul Di’Anno had a long and eventful recording career with Battlezone and Killers, as well as numerous solo releases and guest appearances.
Despite being troubled by severe health issues in recent years that restricted him to performing in a wheelchair, Paul continued to entertain his fans around the world, racking up well over 100 shows since 2023.
His first career retrospective album, "The Book Of The Beast," was released in September of this year and featured highlights of his recordings since leaving Iron Maiden.
