Tributes have been paid to a heavy metal legend after his death aged 69.
Iron Maiden's original frontman Paul Mario Day has passed away, his band announced.
A statement was shared online today by More, a group he was with following his time with Iron Maiden after being there at their launch in the mid-1970s.
Iron Maiden played a key role in a late-Seventies movement dubbed the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, or NWOBHM.
They performed alongside similar acts at festivals including what became a regular annual showcase at Donington in Leicestershire.
More said: 'We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the great MORE vocalist Paul Mario Day.
'Paul was a huge part of the [New Wave of British Heavy Metal] from his time in an early version of Iron Maiden and of course his fantastic performance on the "Warhead" album.'
'He was a well loved figure in British rock music and played many memorable shows not least the legendary 1981 Monsters of Rock show at Castle Donington with AC/DC, Whitesnake/David Coverdale as well as tours with Iron Maiden Def Leppard and many other legendary artists.

You are thinking of Paul Di’Anno. He died in October, 2024.
Two ways to look at it. Either he hates the Stones, or he's a huge fan.
“The Stones. I love the Stones.
Can’t believe they’ve been going all these years.
Watch them whenever I can.
