Ex-Iron Maiden Singer Had ’45 Minutes To Live’ Before Surgery

Former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di’Anno says he had just ’45 minutes to live’ during last year’s health scare.
Di’Anno says he had to be flown by medevac from Argentina: “When I arrived in England, I only had 45 minutes to live, with sepsis and that. So they pumped me full of antibiotics. I spent eight months in hospital.”
He says Iron Maiden helped out by paying for his “last couple of months’ worth of treatments” – something he’s “forever grateful” for.
Di’Anno fronted Iron Maiden from 1978-1981 and sings on the band’s first two studio albums.
