Earlier this month, the band asked for understanding from fans, with guitarist and vocalist Jez Williams saying that while Goodwin was "doing great" he was "still not out of the woods".

In December 1949, he was the drummer with the group that opened the room — the Charlie Parker Quintet, with guest vocalist Harry Belafonte.

Paul Di’Anno, the vocalist who originally fronted Iron Maiden from 1978-81, died Monday, the English band confirmed in a statement.

“His pioneering presence as a frontman and vocalist, both on stage and on our first two albums, will be very fondly remembered not just by us, but by fans around the world.”

After he was fired, he was replaced by Bruce Dickinson, who has remained the act’s lead vocalist.
