PAUL DI'ANNO: Rescheduled U.S. Tour Dates Announced - Jan. 28, 2013
Former IRON MAIDEN singer Paul Di'Anno's previously announced U.S. tour, which was scheduled to kick off last month, has been postponed until June. The trek was called off due to the fact that the musician had not secured a proper working visa to be able to enter the country.

Commented Paul: "I can't wait to get back to the states in May and June. It's going to be a great show."

The new dates are as follows:

May 30 - Santa Ana, CA - The Observatory
May 31 - Las Vegas, NV – Vamp'd
Jun. 01 - Corona, CA - Marquee 15
Jun. 02 - Ramona, CA - Ramona Mainstage
Jun. 05 - Savage, MN – Neisen's
Jun. 06 - Chicago, IL - Double Door
Jun. 07 - Westland, MI - Token Lounge
Jun. 08 - Kenosha, WI - Brat Stop
Jun. 09 - Pittsburgh, PA - Dead Horse
Jun. 13 - White Marsh, MD - House Of Rock
Jun. 14 - Poughkeepsie, NY - The Chance
Jun. 15 - Hartford, CT - Webster Theatre
Jun. 16 - Amityville, NY - Revolution
Jun. 17 - New York, NY - B.B. King
Jun. 20 - Corpus Christi, TX - Zeros
Jun. 21 - Dallas, TX - The Boiler Room
Jun. 22 - Loredo, TX - Average Joe's
Jun. 23 - San Antonio, TX - Backstage Live

Di'Anno completed his first North American tour in early 2010, 17 years after he was deported following a prison term for guns and drug offenses.

On August 27, 2011, Di'Anno played his first show since serving time in a U.K. prison after he falsely collected U.K. government benefits by claiming he suffered nerve damage to his back that prevented him from working.

Due to a number of health issues, including a knee problem which will require surgery soon, Di'Anno announced in July that he will stop touring next year.

Michael Salenius, Di'Anno's Swedish booking manager and tour manager, told BLABBERMOUTH.NET that this year will be "a big, fantastic" last touring year for Paul, with a lot of solo shows, festival appearances and Di'Anno vs. Blaze Bayley concerts. You will also see various guest musicians joining Paul on stage.

Di'Anno recorded two classic albums with IRON MAIDEN before being fired and replaced by Bruce Dickinson. He went on to front a number of other bands, including KILLERS and BATTLEZONE, and released several solo records.

No comment on how his management team busted their ass to get him a visa now? Nah, but he'd go on Facebook right away to blast them.

I'm sure not fucking driving down to California to go pay $10 to see him burn through a Maiden set list, much as I might like to see him. This is the third time he's scheduled a date close to me only to fucking cancel it and never bother to rebook it. What the fuck, Paul? It's bad enough that Maiden won't come within eight states of me in any direction but you can't fucking play here either? When it's material from YOUR era that I want to hear the most?

God damn, I'm seriously pissed right now.

"USA Update. I am not expecting (and have not agreed) to a USA tour for this year, after the last booking fiasco. So if any USA booking agent is asking (or has taken) a deposit agaist such bogus shows - then either stay away from him or get your deposit back as fast as you can !!"

Songs other than Maiden stuff are rarely played during his shows, but for the people saying they'd like to see this because of early Maiden nostalgia, I would think twice. Paul's voice retired long ago, so you basically get a local backing band playing Maiden covers (with better or worse results) that are sang by a bum. Surprisingly he can pull off stuff like Strange World and it sounds okay, though he pauses every second verse expecting the audience to help, but in the rest of the songs he throws in "growling" stuff that sound like your grandpa dying of pneumonia. He gets pissed off for no reason at all and rants about Maiden, sometimes threathens fans, security, or generally threathens to leave for reasons hard to follow during the event. I've seen him two or three times live, but you can watch any clips to see what I'm talking about.

My point is, if you have musical expectations and hope to hear these Maiden songs played properly, you can be disappointed. If you have a "get drunk, have fun, don't care" approach it's okay, still only worth if the tickets aren't too expensive.

Good for you, get down the front (shouldn't be too hard) and get your devil horns in the air. Then get back to compound before curfew and take your medication.

"It's going to be a great show."" No. It isn't.

Saw him last time he was on tour. He was a total joke same with his side band. No thanks. I'd rather go see an Iron Maiden tribute band.

And the first album IS my favorite Maiden album. But honestly, seeing how Paul "sings" these days, it's just sad. The fat bastard can hardly move and just growls. Yes, he sounded fantastic, but that was over 30 years ago! There's that tiny part of me that is curious about seeing him, but I also know I would just be cringing the whole time.
