This news comes weeks after former Iron Maiden frontman, Blaze Bayley announced that he would be cancelling all meet and greet sessions with fans after suffering what he called a "near fatal heart attack", and he wants to protect his long term health.
Bayley, who previously underwent a quadruple heart bypass in March 2023, led the band between 1994 and 1999, as well as being the long term vocalist with Wolfsbane.
“I have decided to stop doing free & included meet & greets & signing at my headline shows,” he wrote. “This is a massive decision for me to take, mainly to protect my health following my open-heart surgery after a near fatal heart attack".
