Paul Di'Anno who was the singer on Iron Maidens debut & Killers album passed way at the age of 66 in Britain. He was the Iron Maiden's frontman & original vocalist. He, along with the rest of Iron Maiden, revived British metal in late 70's, early 80's.

The words he spoke years ago became his sole companions as he bade farewell to life - “Tears for remembrance, and tears for joy Tears for somebody and this lonely boy.”

“It’s just so sad he’s gone,” comments Steve Harris. “I was in touch with him only recently as we texted each other about West Ham and their ups and downs. At least he was still gigging until recently, it was something that kept him going, to be out there whenever he could. He will be missed by us all. Rest in peace mate.”
