RIP, Clive Burr · 2:45am Mar 14th, 2013
Those of you who have been reading my story Pony Rock Opera (all one chapter of it, so far... more are coming, I promise) could probably guess that the legendary metal band Iron Maiden are kind of a big deal for me, personally. Such is why I was very saddened to read the news that former Maiden drummer Clive Burr passed away after a long battle with Multiple Sclerosis, at the age of 56. Although Burr was only behind the kit for a few early records, one of those records (The Number of the Beast) happens to be quite possibly my favorite Maiden album (a very tough call, given their catalog).
Rest in Peace, Clive.
Up The Irons.
R.I.P Clive.
