Clive Burr (March 8, 1957 – March 12, 2013) Photo © Ross Halfin Former Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr died in his sleep last night at the age of 56 after a very long battle with multiple sclerosis. Burr was the man behind the kit on the Maiden classics Iron Maiden, Killers, and The Number of the Beast. In a news article on the official Iron Maiden website, 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.” Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson added, “He was a great guy and a man who really lived his life to the full. Even during the darkest days of his MS, Clive never lost his sense of humor or irreverence. This is a terribly sad day and all our thoughts are with Mimi and the family.” Click for high-res photo

I’d Sell My Soul If I’d Get More Than 50p

You may not have to sell your soul like the protagonist in the Eureka Machine song “Pop Star,” but you only have about a week left to get in on the PledgeMusic campaign for their new album Remain in Hope. Your pledge can get you a digital download, physical CDs (signed or unsigned), or this cool t-shirt inspired by the album art.

Oh, and 50 pence is currently around $0.75 USD, so that’s not a lot of money for a soul.
