Former Iron Maiden Members Paul Di’Anno, Blaze Bayley, and “Eddie” Creator Derek Riggs to be Inducted into Metal Hall of Fame 2021
In a big announcement from The Metal Hall of Fame will induct iconic former Iron Maiden members Paul Di’Anno, Blaze Bayley, and “Eddie” creator Derek Riggs into the Hall with the class of 2021. Paul Di’Anno wrote and sang on Maiden’s first two legendary albums. They are still considered by many Iron Maiden fans to be their favorites. Bayley was hired following the departure of vocalist Bruce Dickinson in the 1990s. Bayley wrote and sang for Iron Maiden for five years and recorded two albums with the band. Blaze-era songs are still concert staples in the band’s setlist today. Derek Riggs is the genius behind the visual side of Iron Maiden. He created the iconic “Eddie” character, one of the most beloved mascots in history. Many can argue that a huge part of the band’s continuous global success is attributed to the sinister, gruesome, shape-shifting Eddie.
