Edited the topic name to "Ex-Iron Maiden singer" so people don't think it's Bruce Dickinson without reading anything.
I was pretty sure it was gonna be Di'Anno anyways. |

MySpace report:
Former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di�Anno has been jailed for nine months following a sentencing on Friday. Di�Anno was found guilty of falsely claiming $67,500 (�45,000) in welfare benefits. . The singer, who left the band in 1981, admitted he accepted government money after falsely claiming nerve damage to his back which prevented him from working. Di�Anno continued to play shows during this time and was charged with wrongfully claiming income support, housing and council tax benefit between 2002 and 2008. . On Friday, Judge Jane Miller QC in Salisbury Crown Court in Salisbury, England sentenced the musician to nine months in jail. Judge Miller said, �Your greed has cost this country a lot of money. The claims were for a long time and for a large cost� It took many years to track you down. In 2007 you performed at 69 venues, in 2006 you performed 67 times. I do not accept you only got expenses.� .
Di�Anno has not offered a statement and there is no word as to whether he may be able to be released early for good behavior. |
