Former IRON MAIDEN frontman Paul Di'Anno has announced what is being billed as his very last live performance and has formed a new band with other former members of the band.

 
The new group is called IDES OF MARCH and features Di'Anno along with four other IRON MAIDEN alumni (Terry Wapram - Guitar, Terry Rance - Guitar, Doug Sampson - Drums), along with bassist Speed Harris from Hi-On Maiden.
 
IDES OF MARCH will be headlining the Beermageddon festival in Bromsgrove, England on Sunday, August 30th. The show will celebrate the 40th anniversary of IRON MAIDEN's self-titled debut album.
 
Di'Anno has been struggling with health issues and doctors have advised him to retire from touring. He had this to say, "It's been a tough four years waiting to play again. I hope to be standing for this show and I'm really looking forward to it. Standing up would be great. If not, Hell on wheels coming to ya!"
