Paul Di’Anno, former lead singer for Iron Maiden has [died at 66](https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=122206838138032351&id=61550970549840&rdid=bPTvnooGPErGP1ss). He’s had a lot of heath issues the last few years. I wanted to see him in concert years ago but his US tour got canceled.

Time to crank some Iron Maiden and Killers.

Bruce Dickinson will aways be the voice of Maiden to me, but there’s no denying the massive influence Paul had. Sad to lose him so young. 🤘

As if I needed another reason. But now I’ll be sad when I listen.

Agreed. I only like the Dickinson era but I’m raising a devils horn salute to Paul.

I actually like all three singers they’ve had. Iron Maiden is a great album, and I think I’m in the minority thinking it’s better than Killers.
