Ex-Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno jailed for fraud - GoFuckYourself.com

DVTimes · 03-13-2011, 02:26 PM

The former singer of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden has been jailed for nine months for fraudulently claiming benefits.

Paul Andrews, of Salisbury, fronted the band between 1978 and 1981, under the stage name Paul Di'Anno.

Andrews, 52, was jailed at the city's crown court after earlier admitting falsely claiming more than £45,000.

Fraud investigators had viewed online videos and read about gigs on the performer's website.

The site still lists dates for a May tour of Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands.

I guess he was claiming a disability benefits and he was working too?

First of all, there's only one Iron Maiden singer -- and that's Bruce Dickinson.

Paul's voice sucked anyway compared to Bruce's. Bruce is the man!

Overall, Bruce is a more talented singer, but there are still old maiden songs which I would prefer to hear Paul sing, rather than Bruce, like "Wrathchild" for example. I like all of the Di'Anno Maiden albums just as much as the Dickinson albums.
