Paul Di’Anno, the frontman of the groundbreaking first two Iron Maiden albums, should have celebrated his 67th birthday on May 17 this year. Unfortunately, Paul passed away unexpectedly at his home in Salisbury in October 2024.
Paul Di’Anno’s friend and manager, Stjepan Juras, has shared the following update:
“Dear fans and friends. A beautiful headstone has finally been placed on Paul’s grave in the days leading up to his heavenly 67th birthday. Thank you to Paul’s sister Sharon who sent me this photo so I could share it with you. Last week, the whole world has shown once again how much Paul means to them and how much he is missed.”
On May 16, Metalville Records released Paul Di’Anno’s In Memory Of. The compilation was completed in memory of Di’Anno. The album is a selection of the best songs that Paul recorded during his time at Metalville Records.
In addition, In Memory Of contains two bonus tracks that have never been released in physical form before. “Je Suis Charlie” is a track from Paul’s Architects Of Chaoz phase, which was only released digitally at the time. “Killers” is a live version from Wacken Open Air 2015.
The previously unpublished photos contained in the booklet and the liner notes written exclusively for the album by internationally recognized Maiden biographer Matthias Mader are a special added value for fans.
Paul Di’Anno was also always a person who, despite his own health problems, was concerned about the well-being of others and took a corresponding interest in their fate. To honor this in the spirit of the unforgotten artist, part of the proceeds from the sale of every CD and LP of In Memory Of will go to the charitable organization Metality e.V.
