Di'Anno joined Iron Maiden in 1977, and his iconic vocals propelled them to stardom with their debut album "Iron Maiden" (1980). He left the band in 1981, after recording two more albums - "Killers" and "The Number of the Beast" - which have become legendary in the world of heavy metal.

He was known for his powerful, raspy vocals, often described as "dark and demonic," which perfectly matched the band's dark and energetic music. He was a natural showman, often jumping around the stage and engaging with the crowd, creating a truly electrifying live experience. Di'Anno's stage presence, coupled with his unique vocal style, helped Iron Maiden become one of the most popular metal bands in the world.

Di'Anno faced several health issues in recent years. He had suffered from numerous health problems including diabetes and kidney failure, requiring a kidney transplant in 2017. He also had struggles with drug addiction, which he spoke openly about in his autobiography.

Despite his personal challenges, Di'Anno continued to perform and remained a beloved figure in the heavy metal community. His death is a significant loss for the genre and his fans worldwide.

While Di'Anno left Iron Maiden after the band's first three albums, his influence is undeniable. He left a lasting impact on Iron Maiden and on the world of heavy metal, forever changing the scene with his raw energy and distinctive voice. He will be remembered as a true legend and missed by fans all over the world.

Rest in peace, Paul.
