Muere Clive Burr, ex-batería de Iron Maiden.

El ex-batería de Iron Maiden, Clive Burr, ha muerto hoy en su casa a los 56 años debido a la esclerosis múltiple que sufría. Clive Burr participó en los tres primeros discos de Iron Maiden: Iron Maiden, Killers y The Number of the Beast (De sus tres mejores trabajos para mi).

El grupo ha puesto un comunicado en su página web donde se puede leer lo siguiente:

"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.


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”

As Maiden fans all know, Clive joined Maiden in 1979 and performed on the first three albums Iron Maiden (1980), Killers (1981) and The Number Of The Beast (1982). Prior to that he was a member of Samson, the band Bruce fronted before he too joined Maiden."

Mi más sincero pésame al batería de tres de los discos más emblemáticos del heavy metal. Descanse en paz.

Iron Maiden siempre estará en mi corazón como el primer grupo de heavy al que me enganché. ¡Un saludo!
