As reported earlier today (October 21st), former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di’Anno passed away at the age of 66. Now, Maiden have paid tribute to their onetime frontman, calling him a “pioneering presence.”

“We are all deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Paul Di’Anno earlier today,” read a statement from Maiden on the band’s social media channels. “Paul’s contribution to Iron Maiden was immense and helped set us on the path we have been travelling as a band for almost five decades. His pioneering presence as a frontman and vocalist, both on stage and on our first two albums, will be very fondly remembered not just by us, but by fans around the world.”  The statement continued, “We were very grateful to have had the chance to catch up a couple of years ago and to spend time with him once more. On behalf of the band, [co-managers] Rod [Smallwood] and Andy [Taylor], and the whole Iron Maiden team, we extend our deepest sympathies to Paul’s family and close friends. Rest In Peace Paul.”

Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris, who founded the legendary British metal band in 1975, added his own tribute, writing, “It’s just so sad he’s gone. I was in touch with him only recently as we texted each other about West Ham and their ups and downs. At least he was still gigging until recently, it was something that kept him going, to be out there whenever he could. He will be missed by us all. Rest in peace mate.”

As mentioned in the collective statement, current members of Maiden reconnected with Di’Anno in recent years. The band shared a photo of Harris and Di’Anno together, while we recently reported on current singer Bruce Dickinson meeting Di’Anno for the first time over the summer.

Di’Anno, who was confined to a wheelchair in recent years, died after battling a number of health issues. No specific cause of death has been revealed as of yet.
