Sad to see him go early. He truly marked an era despite the short time he was with Iron Maiden. The first Maiden album and Killers will forever be my favorites. RIP Paul.

I am seldom the guy who can't find the words to express what he'feels. Today is not one of those days. Lemmy once said that we should leave the world a better place for having been in it. Paul definitely did that and more. R.I.P. Paul.

Man I knew his health issues were not great, but he continued on. It shows the true character of a man who once fronted arguably the biggest metal band ever, who toured the club scene for decades, and to fight through serious health problems to stay touring. Bruce Dickinson can't sing your songs Paul. To his family and friends of coarse also to his fans I give my condolences and to The Wrathchild Paul Di'anno RIP \m/.
