Paul Di'Anno

From Free net encyclopedia

Paul Andrews (born 17 May, 1958, in Chingford, Essex), better known as Paul Di'anno, was the first prominent vocalist in the now legendary heavy metal band Iron Maiden from 1977 to 1981. The first singer to record with the band, he featured on the now legendary Soundhouse Tapes EP, as well as the first two albums. He was replaced by Bruce Dickinson. Paul continues to tour and record solo albums to this day.

He has released a critically acclaimed biography titled The Beast (ISBN 1904034039) and has allegedly had interludes with various drugs. At one stage he was imprisoned for manslaughter, though many observers believe he should receive a full pardon at this point.

Di'Anno converted to Islam in 1990.
