Iron Maiden alumnus join the Hard Rock Hell Bill. (more…)

According to a post on Blaze Bayley’s official website, Blaze’s wife Debbie Bayley is in a critical condition after suffering a dual brain hemorrhage and is yet to regain consciousness.

The full post reads:

“Understandably, Blaze will be staying at bedside for the time being and we as a band are not prepared to put ourselves too far from her under these circumstances. Due to this serious situation, Blaze cannot appear at the Easy Rider Bike Fest (in Italy) this coming weekend and the Brazil tour must be postponed until early next year. For the time being please contact serpentheartedman@gmail.com for any business-related enquiries. Any messages of support can be sent to messagesofsupport@gmail.com – they will be forwarded directly to Debbie and Blaze..”

If you would like to leave your own message for Blaze and Debbie, you can also do this in the Metal Hammer blog here.

The thoughts of everyone associated with Metal Hammer are with Blaze and Debbie at this difficult time.

A Metal Hammer TV interview conducted with Blaze prior to these events last week about his time in Iron Maiden and the Twickenham gig on July 5th is available here.
