Entinen Iron Maiden -vokalisti Paul Di’Anno erotettiin hänen luotsaamasta Archiects of Chaoz – yhtyeestään
Iron Maidenin alkuperäisenä laulajana parhaiten tunnettun Paul Di’Annon kasaama Architects of Chaoz on paljastanut Facebookissa jatkavansa toimintaansa ilman Di’Annoa. Yhtye perustettiin alunperin 2014 muiden jäsenten toimittua miehen taustayhtyeenä hänen soolokeikoillaan, ja kertoo jotuneensa tekemään vaikean päätöksen Di’Annon heikentyneen terveydentilan vuoksi.

”Dear AoC Family,
this is maybe the hardest thing imaginable for us, but we have to tell you that (as painful as it is for us), for his own health and dignity,
PAUL IS NO LONGER PART OF THE BAND!!!
With the second album already written we wanted to enter the studio this october which turned out to be impossible with Paul!
Of course we will release this monster (which by the way will be even stronger than ”The League of Shadows”!) as soon as possible! This is not the end of AoC! It will start a new chapter!
During the last year it became obvious that there is no way to keep the Architects alive under these circumstances.
Many of you have seen Paul suffering on and off stage during our last tours.His health got even worse during the last months and as much as we hoped that there will be a surgery that gets him back on his feet, we had to find out that it is not going to happen!
SO THE FIVE OF US DECIDED THAT IT WOULD BE THE BEST TO PART WAYS!!!!
Touring was only possible because we know really passionate and lovely people who would do everything possible for us. With their time limited, it gets more and more impossible to tour!
We would love to tell you we were big enough in business and our tours and income was big enough to pay for two additional people only taking care of Paul. But we are not. We are just the metalheads and punks that we have always been. Everything is DIY!
Trust us, nobody shed more tears over this than we did, because the five of us have spent the last 11 years together and if there ever were brothers from different mothers, it was us…
The future will bring great new music!
WE WILL START A NEW CHAPTER AND FIND A NEW SINGER WHO CAN TRANSPORT THE ENERGY!!!
A.o.C. will rise again!!!!!!
Love,
Joey, Andy, Dom & Gonzo”
Di’Anno on sittemmin julkaissut oman aiheeseen liittyvän tiedotteen, jossa hän sanoo estävänsä entisiä bändikaveretaan käyttämästä Architects of Chaoz -nimeä. Lisäksi hän kertoo aikovansa kasata uuden taustayhtyeen ja julkaisevansa uuden albumin ensi vuonna. Voit lukea Di’Annon tiedotteen alta. Yhtye kertoi heinäkuussa miehen sairastavan syöpää, mutta hän kiisti väitteen. Lisäksi Di’Anno on joutunut lähiaikoina kulkemaan keikoilla pyörätuolissa.
”IMPORTANT NOTICE
I have just got a message from my so called German band mates, who have decided to go on without me. However I will not let them use the name AOC – ”Architects of Chaoz”, so I hope my New AOC will debut next year with new members and an even heavier sound and energy. I’m looking at my bros in Brazil for this. Goodbye Traitors !!”
