It is with a heavy heart and a mist in my eye that I announce the death of an icon in the world of hard rock and metal. My thoughts and prayers go out to the friends, family, and coworkers of Eddie the Iron Maiden mascot. His ability to adorn the t-shirts and posters of countless 80s metal enthusiasts the world over has been an inspiration to merchandise hawkers everywhere. I tell ya what, I'm really gonna miss that mummified freako...
PS Iron Maiden has announced that, as soon as they can get back to touring, they will pay tribute to Eddie with a flyover of their first concert venue of the tour in Ed Force One*. It's rumored they may also scatter Eddie's ashes during this flyover, so if you're planning to attend, have a ziploc bag handy to catch some of that sweet, sweet Eddie dust to add to your collection of Iron Maiden mementos.

R.I.P. ? - 2020
*In case you're wondering: Ed Force One is an actual 747 jumbo jet that has flown the band on several of their world tours over the past decade, piloted by Iron Maiden front man Bruce Dickinson.
