Jimmy Kay from Canada's The Metal Voice recently spoke with former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'anno who recently announced his new band Angels Of Chaoz. He provided an update about his current health situation and spoke about a Battlezone reunion and the songs on the first Iron Maiden album, Killers and the Maiden Japan EP. A few excerpts follow:

When asked about an update on his current health situation:

"I have had some problems with my legs over the years, wear and tear jumping around like a loony on stage and my knees started to give out. What happened is the fluid in the right knee started to get infected and went into my chest and I did a couple of shows in the wheel chair. I went back to Argentina and did some shows and I had a bit of a fall. By the time I got back to England, I went to see the surgeon for my knee. I got home dropped my luggage and then I went off to the hospital, came back in the afternoon and then I collapsed. I was dying of an abscess basically. I was lucky enough I had my phone with me and I called up the ambulance and they took me off to the hospital and I was there for eight months. A huge big abscess on my chest in my clavicle eating my bone and breast bone away. The abscess was the size of a rugby ball, it was huge, they shrunk it with about 40 pills a day for eight months in the hospital. I couldn't move. They are saying it's from the fluid on the knee, but it could have been something else I picked up traveling in South America, India, like what happened to Steve Grimmett (Grim Reaper). So now I'm trying to get my knees fixed. I have a special designer knee being built for me at the very cheap sum of 86,000 pounds. I got to pay for that and then I found out from my dentist the other day all the pills I am taking is making all my gums shrink and now I'm going to lose all my teeth as well if I'm not careful. They are going to try and take my right knee out completely towards the next few months obviously the best surgeon in the country he's booked up with other patients I've got to wait for him. They let me out of the hospital after eight months just before Christmas last year and I went into a care home which was a fucking nightmare, the home was where people would go to die, a bunch of 80 and 90 year-olds I was the youngest one there and most of them had dementia."

When asked if he would do a Iron Maiden show with all three Iron Maiden singers on the bill:

"Yes, if something good would come out of it of course I would, yeah. It would be great to see all the guys again"

When asked if he would ever do a resurrect his old band Batttlezone:

"We are in talks at the moment, that's no secret. Me and Steve Hopgood and, Graham Bath are up for it. We’ve been trying to get a hold of John Wiggins who has not been forthcoming at the moment, but my old bass player Colin Riggs will be involved.”
