Paul Di’Anno

Lead singer with the heavy metal band Iron Maiden in the 70s

The defining event in the singing career of Paul Di’Anno – and one whose influence he never managed to escape – was his departure from the London-based heavy metal band Iron Maiden in 1981.

Having joined in 1978, Di’Anno recorded an EP and two pioneering albums with the group, but disputes with the bandleader Steve Harris over musical direction, as well as his own unreliable behaviour, led the group to fire him.

The shadow of Iron Maiden lingered over Di’Anno, who has died aged 66, for the next 40 years, with a sequence of briefly successful projects mostly alluding to his former membership of one of the world’s biggest bands. After his departure he quickly descended into a chaotic lifestyle blighted by substance abuse.

“When you’re fucked up on drugs and alcohol you turn into a complete prick,” he admitted while promoting his 2010 autobiography, The Beast, which included endless tales of drunken aggression, unpleasantly graphic encounters with groupies and confrontations with gang members and police officers, as well as incidents of domestic violence. One of these led to a prison sentence in Los Angeles in the early 1990s, after he assaulted a girlfriend with a knife while high on cocaine.

Di’Anno was born Paul Andrews in Chingford, Essex, to a Brazilian father and an English mother: he also used the surname Taylor after his mother remarried. As a teenager he worked as a butcher and chef while singing with a punk band, supposedly called the Paedophiles. His break came when he met Harris in 1978 at the Red Lion pub in Leytonstone and auditioned for Iron Maiden, which Harris had founded three years previously. Joining the band, he adopted the surname Di’Anno.

An untrained but compelling singer, Di’Anno’s raspy, aggressive vocals suited the songs that Iron Maiden recorded for an acclaimed 1979 EP, The Soundhouse Tapes, and their first, self-titled album, released a year later. The early lineup – Di’Anno and Harris plus drummer Clive Burr and the guitarists Dave Murray and Dennis Stratton – built a loyal following in London, particularly at the Ruskin Arms in East Ham, with the weekly rock music magazine Sounds labelling the movement they led “the new wave of British heavy metal”.

Iron Maiden and its lead single Running Free were minor hits, with the latter accompanied by an appearance on Top of the Pops, but the Di’Anno-fronted version of the group gained its greatest public exposure in 1985 when one of the album’s songs, Phantom of the Opera, soundtracked a TV advert for the energy drink Lucozade, starring the athlete Daley Thompson.

By then Di’Anno and Iron Maiden had long since parted ways. The group’s second album, Killers (1981), was more musically complex than their debut: unhappy with this new direction and with the prospect of extended months on the road, the singer sought distraction in substance abuse, consuming up to five grams of cocaine and a bottle of tequila per day, he later recalled. He was subsequently sacked from the band, relinquishing his share of the group’s recordings for £50,000: Iron Maiden recruited a new singer, Bruce Dickinson, and went on to enormous success with a series of high-selling albums and tours.

Left to his own devices, the singer formed a series of heavy metal bands, the first of which, Di’Anno, released a self-titled album in 1984 to limited success. He was briefly a member of Gogmagog and spent the rest of the 80s with a new band, Battlezone.

From 1990 onwards Di’Anno fronted the band Killers, and despite an erratic lifestyle and legal problems he made a living from touring in Europe and Brazil, where he lived in his later years. “In South America we’re absolutely bloody huge, so it makes you feel a bit deflated when you do a small pub and club tour [in the UK],” he told one interviewer.

In 2011 Di’Anno was sentenced to nine months in prison in the UK after being convicted of fraud, although he was released for good behaviour after two months. While performing concerts around the world, he had claimed benefits of £45,000 from the Department of Work and Pensions, stating that nerve damage to his back made him unable to work.

By 2020 he was genuinely suffering from lymphedema of the knee, which obliged him to sing from a wheelchair on stage. His injury was resolved after a crowdfunding campaign and a donation by Iron Maiden, with whom Di’Anno had maintained a distant but mostly cordial relationship.

He was married five times and fathered six children: with the exception of his first wife, Beverley, he kept details of his family members private.

A band of Cornish men

Then Locrinus straightway took the Princess Esyllt for his wife, and delighted in her more and more: for she was as prudent as she was beautiful, and she loved the king, her deliverer, with the love of a true wife, and of a noble princess.

But when Corineus, the giant-slayer, heard that Locrinus had taken a toreign princess to be his wife, and that she sat beside him on his throne to the open scorn of Guendolen, his daughter, he arose in great wrath, and swore a mighty oath, that he would either make him put away his wife and marry the Lady Guendolen, to whom he was affianced, or that one of the two should never eat bread more; and gathering together a band of Cornish men, sons of the giants, and taking with him Guendolen, his daughter, he marched eastward, passing like an angry meteor through town and hamlet, for wrath drove him like a scourge.

Premature labor

King Locrinus, hearing of his coming, and boding ill of the issue, hid his wife privily in a shepherd’s cottage, and caused a rumor to be spread that at the terror of the coming of the Giant-slayer, his queen had fallen into the pangs of premature labor, and that she and her infant had both perished; and to add greater faith to the tale, he had funeral rites performed, and went heavily as one who mourneth, and put on mourning garments.

These tidings, meeting Corineus on the way, somewhat slaked the fury of his wrath, and halting, he sent forward a messenger to Locrinus, to demand of him that he would fulfil his contract with the Lady Guendolen.

The King with a sad heart assented, but would that the marriage should be deferred  for the present that he might furnish himself, with fitting ceremony to do honor to his bride; but Corineus would hear nothing of delay, and resuming his onward course burst furiously into the city of Trinovant, where Locrinus abode, and breaking unannounced into the presence of the King bade him keep to his covenant, and take the Lady Guendolen at once to his throne.

The fierce countenance of Corineus was not less terrible because it was furrowed by age, and set round with strong white hair, and a beard like a trail of autumn cloud; the muscles stood out like serpents from his bare arms, and his loose garment of Tyrian purple left to view a broad patch of the shaggy breast against which, as in a vise, he had crushed the ribs of the monster Gogmagog.
