The heavy metal music scene is in mourning after the news of the passing of Paul Mario Day, the first singer of the famous British band Iron Maiden, at the age of 69, writes A2 CNN.
The news was confirmed by the band More, which Day joined after leaving Iron Maiden in the late 1970s. In an emotional statement released today on social media, the band expressed their deep sorrow for the loss of the artist who contributed significantly to the musical movement known as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM).
"We are deeply saddened by the passing of the great MORE vocalist, Paul Mario Day. He was an important part of NWOBHM, from his days with the first version of Iron Maiden, to his fantastic performance on the album 'Warhead'," the statement said.
Paul Mario Day was a beloved figure in British rock music and left an indelible mark on big stages, including the legendary Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington in 1981, where he performed alongside AC/DC, Whitesnake (with David Coverdale), Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, and many other great artists.
The loss of Paul Mario Day leaves a huge void in the hearts of Iron Maiden fans and all lovers of classic heavy metal. His death comes just days after the passing of another icon of the genre, Ozzy Osbourne, the lead singer of the great band, Black Sabbath. (A2 Televizion)
