History & Biography
After leaving Iron Maiden, Paul Di’Anno established the rocky Di’Anno which featured a keyboardist and refused to play Iron Maiden songs. This not working out, Di’Anno returned with Battlezone, which was very metal and again delivered. The line-up changed between the first and second albums following disagreements with John Hurley and Bob Falk, but Children Of Madness again failed to succeed commercially. Years later the band was reformed with a new line-up, albeit this lasted little as Di’Anno re-established his namesake again!

Guitarist John Hurley died of cancer in 2018. Brazilian Paulo Turin died of COVID-19 in 2021. Paul Di'Anno died of his heart disease in 2024.
