It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of former Iron Maiden singer, Paul Di'Anno, at the age of 66. His death was confirmed last month, and his sisters, Cheryl and Michelle, have now revealed the cause of death. Born on May 17, 1958, Paul Andrews, better known by his stage name Paul Di'Anno, died at his home in Salisbury. The news has left fans heartbroken, as Paul was a beloved member of the iconic heavy metal band.
According to his sisters, Paul's death was a result of a tear in the sac around his heart, causing blood to fill inside from the aorta artery, ultimately leading to his heart stopping. The official Paul Di'Anno page on Facebook shared this news, stating that his death was instantaneous and, hopefully, painless. The band also released a statement, expressing their deep sorrow and acknowledging Paul's immense contribution to Iron Maiden's success.
Paul's pioneering presence as a frontman and vocalist, both on stage and on their first two albums, will always be remembered by not just the band, but also by fans all around the world. Iron Maiden's founding members, Rod and Andy, along with the entire team, extend their deepest sympathies to Paul's family and close friends. Rest in peace, Paul.
The news of his death was also confirmed by Conquest Music, on behalf of his family. Paul, who was born in Chingford, East London, had a successful career as the lead singer of Iron Maiden from 1978 to 1981. He was a vital part of their groundbreaking debut album, Iron Maiden, and their influential follow-up, Killers. However, his musical journey did not end there.
Despite leaving Iron Maiden, Paul continued to have a long and eventful recording career with bands like Battlezone and Killers, as well as releasing numerous solo albums and making guest appearances. He may have been best known for his work with Iron Maiden, but his musical talents extended far beyond that.
Tributes for Paul poured in immediately after the news of his passing, with many praising him for his contributions to the first two Iron Maiden albums and labeling him a legend. The band, which now consists of Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Bruce Dickinson, Nicko McBrain, and Janick Gers, is currently on a world tour.
Their Future Past World tour is currently in the USA, and the band has yet to release a statement about their former member's passing. Over the past five decades, Iron Maiden has had various lineups, with 13 former members and six current members. Paul's unique and powerful vocal style will always be remembered by fans, and his legacy will continue to live on through his music.
Despite his deteriorating health, Paul continued to perform on stage until his final days. In 2023, he even performed from a wheelchair at his first UK show in 10 years at KK's Steelmill in Wolverhampton, England. He was a fighter until the very end, and his passion for music never faded.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Paul's family and loved ones during this difficult time. He will be greatly missed, but his memory will live on forever. Rest in peace, Paul Di'Anno.
