| Very sad day indeed...Dee had this to say about it:
After a long battle with MS, my dear friend Clive Burr passed away in his sleep last night. We worked together on a project called Desperado from 1988-1990 andshared some great times, and sadly forgotten musical moments. I'm blessed to have spoken to him a couple of days ago on his birthday, shared some memories and a few smiles. A rock n roll legend has been lost, and the world of music is less because of it. RIP Clive and "hit 'em hard" in rock n roll heaven. - Dee Snider |

| RE Clive Burr
Iron Maiden was the first metal concert I went to aged just 14 years old. Clive was with them back then. 34 years later I am still mixing with the same kind of people,listening to the same bands, same music. That first concert evidently sent me down a road that helped shape my life. Helped to create some amazing experiences, create some incredible memories, mix with great people, travel, be happy. I can truly say I have no regrets on that score. Iron Maiden set that all in motion. TS soon followed. Clive was part of that early start. For that, I can only say thank you. A sad day for our metal family. RIP Clive. You will be missed.
