Paul Di’Anno, Iron Maiden’s first singer, passed away yesterday. He was the vocalist on the first vinyl record I ever owned and an important voice of my youth. He sang WRATHCHILD, the song after which I named my first book.
With him, an important part of my own youth died.
The only fitting song for this is THE SOUND OF SILENCE, but in the version by Disturbed.
When I die, play this version on my funeral.
