Former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno has confirmed recent reports that his old band helped him pay for the major knee surgery and follow-up treatment he recently underwent ahead of his return to touring.
Di'Anno, who fronted Iron Maiden from 1978-1981 and sung on the band's classic first two albums, Iron Maiden (1980) and Killers (1981), underwent successful knee surgery in Croatia in September following months of medical treatment - the latest in a years-long series of operations and health battles. Fans had raised over £11,000 via a crowdfunding campaign to contribute to Di'Anno's medical fees.
