Paul DiAnno RIP

[seeformiles]

Rather overshadowed by Bruce Dickinson but a seriously good HM voice

Original Iron Maiden singer Paul D'Anno dies, aged 66

The band's first singer appeared on two albums before being replaced by Bruce Dickinson.

Saw him live for the first (and last) time back in August at Stonedead Festival. Great to hear Maiden's original singer performing the classics. "Phantom of the Opera" was quite a moment!

RIP

Was going to post that exact tune ^ Shows how excellent they were at that point and also why DiAnno didn't really fit any more.

His voice really works a year earlier*
