Ex-IRON MAIDEN Singer PAUL DI'ANNO: Five Songs 'Fully Recorded' For New Album

June 6, 2008

Former IRON MAIDEN singer Paul Di'Anno has issued the following update:

"My new album is well underway and I am excited because I have a great German producer called Dieter Roth at the controls. I have already fully recorded five of the songs in Germany (at Dieter's studio) and I will have the whole album finished by the end of this year. The album is very different to anything else I have ever recorded and I am so very excited about this album as it really is the business. More news to follow."

Paul Di'Anno will appear at the Cliveaid event on June 30 at the Les Caves Saint Sabin in Paris, France. Di'Anno will sing three songs with French MAIDEN tribute band COVERSLAVE. Also scheduled to appear are the Parisian heavy/thrash metallers DREAMCATCHER, and French illustrator Herv Monjeaud, who works for IRON MAIDEN. Monjeaud designed the "Somewhere Back In Time - World Tour 08" poster and works for French IRON MAIDEN fanzine Neighbour Of The Beast. Herv will bring some of his best original artwork and will draw Eddie sketches for those who ask.

Cliveaid is the organization which was set up in 2004 as a fund-raising event for original IRON MAIDEN drummer Clive Burr.

Burr is suffering from multiple sclerosis a disease of unknown cause. The disorder is causing him intermittent numbness and can affect his balance. At present there is no known cure for MS, although he is helping test new drugs in the hope that his body response may contribute to a cure.

A six-minute audio interview with Paul D'Anno conducted on April 17, 2008 by Gino Alache of Rockum Radio (broadcasting out of Lima, Peru) is available for download at this location (MP3 file).

Di'Anno in 2006 re-released his 2000 effort, "Nomad", with a few tracklist alterations, under the title "The Living Dead" (Cleopatra Records). The package comes with a bonus DVD that contains the music video for "The Living Dead" and an exclusive in-depth, tell-all interview in which Di'Anno discusses his days with IRON MAIDEN.
