Conquest Music, speaking on behalf of his family, has sadly confirmed the passing of Paul Andrews, known to fans as Paul Di’Anno. He died at his home in Salisbury at the age of 66. Despite facing significant health challenges in recent years that required him to perform from a wheelchair, Paul remained committed to his music, performing more than 100 shows since 2023 to audiences worldwide.

I had no idea that Iron Maiden started off with a different singer until I heard of his passing.
 
A lot of people didn’t. The first two albums were with Paul and they’re my favorite Iron Maiden albums
