Noooo... We keep losing such great artists. Rest in peace Di'Anno

[@melissaivy5199]

Yes we are too too many have past and some very badly R.I.P Di'Anno keep singing in heaven 😇🤘🤘✌️🖤🤘🤘😇

[@keithcarlson7267]

This one hit hard. 😢

[@jerrybenjamin4002]

I met Paul Di'anno exactly 30 years ago to this very day. Back in 1994, I was a drum tech for a band out of the bay area called Vicious Rumors. We signed on to do a 6 week tour through Europe called "The Ultimate Power Force Tour". The band were Metal Church, Vicious Rumors, Paul's band "Killers" and Zodiac Mindwarp. The tour started on October 22,1994 but we flew into Amsterdam the day before the tour started. That's when I met Paul and the rest of the guys in his band. I didn't know it at the time but both band and crew members of V.R. and Killers were about to spend every waking moment for the next 6 weeks together. We all lived on a double decker tour bus touring Europe and having an absolute blast! Paul was a wild man but had a heart of gold. Being a big Maiden fan, I was a bit in aww of him. But he was always so cool to me. We had some really great sober and "unsober" times. Dare I say by the end of the tour, I could honestly say Paul Di'anno was my friend. I will never forget that final day when at the airport Paul and I hugged each other and said "I love your brother"! That's a hug I can still feel to to this very sad day. Rest In Peace my friend. Sadly, we have now lost the frontmen for 3 of the 4 bands on that tour. Carl Albert (Vicious Rumors) Mike Howe (Metal Church) and Paul Di'anno (Killers).

[@schaeddelrunter]

Cool. Love Vicious Rumors and Metal Church. Digital Dictator is one of the best Power Metal Records.

[@reevansingh21]

Even a wheelchair couldn't stop him a true Rockstar hail a legend rip 💔

[@dej1971]

must be shocking for you that Mr. Phil Collins did the same and a longer tour ... and he is still alive... "metal" *lol*

[@lawrencefine5020]

First 2 Iron Maiden albums are my favorite. I bought both their first albums in 1981 and was blown away. A True Metal legend is gone, but not forgotten. Thanks Paul. RIP.

Rest in peace Paul Di'Anno 🤘🤘🤘 Phantom of the Opera is one of my favourite Maiden songs ever and that will never change.

From his era, I really like Wrathchild the most. R.I.P Paul

Punk as fuck. Metal as fuck. RIP

[@daniellebcooper7160]

yeah...see whos t-shirt he was wearing?.

[@JackMcLeodJr]

Gonna go and blast WRATHCHILD loud and proud in memory of Paul. In fact I'm gonna go blast the first two Maiden albums which are 2 of GREATEST additions to what became heavy metal. "CUZ I'M A..... WRATHCHILD!"

[@RandyFricke]

A buddy of mine worked at Capitol Records and brought home that first Iron Maiden record. It was Paul Di'Anno's voice that initially drew me in. RIP Paul Di'Anno.

[@elontusk7565]

I listened to both the iron maiden and killers album today randomly and sang them out loud while cleaning my house lol. Never knew he died until now very strange how I chose to listen to them as I've not thought about them in many years.....rip Paul

[@mannybravo237]

Conduit for energy, kinetic, power, connection, because the Metal World started playing early Maiden in memory on his passing on

[@elontusk7565]

​@@mannybravo237 that seems like a pretty plausible explanation my dude 🤘 He's running free now ❤

[@mark_beastpriest5539]

I never gave a shit what anyone said. The first two Iron Maiden albums were their best. Now, I believe it more than ever.

[@widexawake_]

Brother, it's okay to be wrong. That's what social media is for. Publicly announcing you don't know what you're talking about.

[@bbadam19]

The first two albums can't be covered the same that's how good they are

[@thenephilimm]

definitely their best albums. raw and influential metal albums

[@sjnix7044]

Ahh, I think we all knew this was coming. RIP Paul. Killers is one of my all time favorite Maiden albums. 🤘🤘

[@jedisparky]

RIP Paul, we will ALWAYS remember you through your music. You are sadly gone too soon, but you will never be forgotten.

[@6R3YP1L6R1M]

I envy him. He is now in a far better place than us. He is amongst friends and long, lost loved ones now. Up there along with Ronnie, Lemmy, Randy, Jeff, Dimebag, Eddie and countless other Heavy Metal Legends. Hopefully we too can join them again somewhere else in better times.

[@Rev-Tones]

Another legend lost ...... Rest . In . Peace

Still and forever my favorite Maiden vocalist. I remember buying a Maiden concert compilation as a kid and expected to see Dickinson, but was blown away when I saw Di’Anno on stage.

[@trendmassacre8423]

Okay, this one hurts BAD! RIP Paul and thank you for one last album!!

[@deanpallant2474]

Saw Paul with my son at the prince bandroom in at st kilda Melbourne earlier this year. I’m so grateful I got to see him play . The place was bouncing when he did’ phantom of the opera’. Rest in peace, Paul, you are a legend.

[@TOGade-dj6jh]

Killers is the best album cover ever in my opinion. RIP Legend 🤘🏻🇸🇪🙏🏻

[@MarkMay-cr6bv]

There are a lot of killer Maiden covers, but I agree, that one has always been my favorite!

[@TOGade-dj6jh]

@@MarkMay-cr6bv I love their covers, especially those by Derek Riggs. His attention to detail is incredible, as a kid I would spend hours listening to their music while studying the covers.

[@skoolhausrawks9439]

One of the most underappreciated Rock Voices Of All Time. Was lucky to see Paul @ Beerland in ATX + Maiden that same year in S.A. Up The Irons! 🤘

[@samhain4399]

RiP Paul... Saw him perform once in the late 80's in the UK. Genuine guy and great performer and singer. 'Another Life' awaits...

[@JaredGenesis444]

loved the early punk rock sound from them. RIP

[@TimothySchulting]

Killers was the first Metal Album I ever heard. I borrowed it from a friend. It changed my life. It was like discovering oxygen for the first time. I had to get all the metal in the world after that. I was 16, 41 years ago. I am lifting a Kentucky Bourbon and remembering Pail Di'Anno .

[@NERD-FROM-THE-SOUTH]

As we know. Legends are immortal. Rest easy.

RIP Paul DiAnno.I will never forget your two fantastic albums with Iron Maiden,but above all your Italian origins

[@metaldog38shomeofmetalnewchann]

I always loved his bands he fronted. Maiden or Battlezone to all his others he graced us with. Just a shame to lose another staple from my teen years that I listened to back then and still do today. Just last week i was cranking Children of Madness by Battlezone on my speakers and Killers from Iron Maiden back to back. Rest In Peace brother..

[@deadliestassassin3092]

Damn, my heart is aching. RIP Paul Di'Anno.

Some of my favorite work from Maiden were their first 2 albums. Highly underrated, IMO. I very much enjoyed watching him perform with Gus G recently. Very sad day, indeed. Time to up the irons for Paul Di'Anno. Rust in Peace.

[@Patricia-pq4jq]

Paul was indeed a driving force in the success of Iron Maiden. Paul worked hard and played hard and left this world too soon. Life is short. Take care of yourself when you can. Be happy. RIP Paul.

[@efrainvillarreal9156]

R.I.P. Paul. You will be missed here. The first self titled album and Killers were my introduction to metal. Such a unique voice and style. I still remember being bummed when he no longer was with Maiden. Condolences to his friends and family. Thank you Paul for all the great music you left us.

[@themightyironoak]

Living in the final days of legends and metal gods. I pray the next generation of metal bands can pick up the torch and keep the faith alive!

[@derekgooden2507]

Just saw Maiden in Denver 2 nights ago. Still INCREDIBLE!! First time I saw them was in '83 and so many times since then. I, like many, was hoping that for the 50th anniversary tour next year Maiden would bring Paul out for a song or two. I know they had all started to get along after all these years. Thanks for 2 incredible albums that changed EVERYTHING. R.I.P.
