    Classic

    One of my biggest regrets in life - I spent a little over a week in Cuba... in April... with sunshine throughout the entire time - and never once played that song.
    Fucking idiot.

    I guess you were tired of the city life

    Paul Di’Anno, early frontman for Iron Maiden, dies aged 66

    The vocalist, who went on to form Battlezone and Killers, had experienced a number of health issues in recent years

    Bruce Dickinson was an upgrade yes, but Di’anno did some awesome stuff too.

    I saw on FB he hadn’t been well for awhile…..

    RIP, thanks for playing your part in an amazing group !!

    I remember the guy in the background, pretty sure he had a couple of seconds in the opening. Funny that he was an actual lifeguard while on the show

    End of an era. I have a small family connection too - my Dad trained some of the 28th radio operators before they left NZ

    Saw him and his wife Prunella Scales in a production of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night back in the 90s
