Paul Di'Anno, the original lead vocalist for Iron Maiden, was born on May 17, 1958 in Chingford, Essex, England. He joined the band in 1978 and was a key figure in their early success, contributing to their debut album, "Iron Maiden," and "Killers" as well as the EPs "Soundhouse Tapes" and "Live!".
Di'Anno's powerful, raw vocals and energetic stage presence were a defining characteristic of Iron Maiden's early sound. However, his tenure with the band was relatively short-lived. He left Iron Maiden in 1981 due to personal and touring issues.
After leaving Iron Maiden, Di'Anno continued to pursue a music career, forming his own bands such as Battlezone, Gogmagog and Warhorse. He also released several solo albums throughout his career. Despite facing challenges, Di'Anno remained a beloved figure among Iron Maiden fans and continued to perform live well into his later years.
