Ah damn. I saw Clive in the 80s. Iron Maiden remains one of my favourite bands of all time. RIP Clive.

Shows you how much attention I've paid to the dates.

Lol Vince W, it wasn't really huge news, apparently the Iron Maiden boys paid tribute to him. He had some rare disease for a long time that is why he quit the band early on his career, something to do with his bones, not too sure, my memory fades a bit. The band and him were always on good terms I think. He was a good drummer with a specific sound and they found it in Nicko McBrain after he left.

Says he had MS. Wait a second! 2013? Sorry guys, I saw this on facebook, clicked the link, and thought it was just a couple of days ago.
