Paul Di'Anno was a vocalist for the legendary band Iron Maiden on their first two albums, Iron Maiden (1980) and Killers (1981). He left the band that same year due to excessive substance use and the band's desire for a vocalist with less punk influence.

At the time, they released two singles, "Stop the War" and "The Doubt Within," as a thank you to fans for helping with his knee surgery. Di'Anno even had a falling out with Architects of Chaoz in 2016 after the musicians decided to continue without him .
Paul Di'Anno passed away in October 2024 due to a ruptured pericardium, the membrane surrounding the heart. In recent years, Paul had been performing in a wheelchair due to serious health problems.
