Report: BLAZE BAYLEY's Tribute To Lost Wife
May 21, 2009, 15 years ago
Britain's Rock Radio reports:
BLAZE BAYLEY has paid tribute to his wife Debbie, who got him back into music, managed his band and then tragically died last year.
Bayley says he was struggling to survive after a series of career setbacks before Debbie got everything back on track. But in July she suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma. She fought back before succumbing to a stroke and dying in September.
The former WOLFSBANE and IRON MAIDEN singer is currently touring to support recent album The Man Who Would Not Die, and says none of it would have come about without Debbie’s leadership.
He tells Rock Radio DJ Tom Russell: “It’s been a complete tragedy. But I still count myself a very lucky man, truly blessed that I had my wife in my life.
“Really, she saved me. I was really down, I had no band, I was working in a shop and I’d more or less given up music because I couldn’t do the music I wanted."
