Former IRON MAIDEN Drummer Clive Burr Passes

"We are deeply saddened to report that Clive Burr passed away last
night. He had suffered poor health for many years after being diagnosed
with Multiple Sclerosis and died peacefully in his sleep at home."





Bassist Steve Harris said: “This is terribly sad news. Clive was a
very old friend of all of us. He was a wonderful person and an amazing
drummer who made a valuable contribution to Maiden in the early days
when we were starting out. This is a sad day for everyone in the band
and those around him and our thoughts and condolences are with his
partner Mimi and family at this time."


Bruce Dickinson adds: “I first met Clive when he was leaving Samson
and joining Iron Maiden. He was a great guy and a man who really lived
his life to the full. Even during the darkest days of his M.S., Clive
never lost his sense of humour or irreverence. This is a terribly sad
day and all our thoughts are with Mimi and the family”
