Paul Di’Anno 66 -original singer for Iron Maiden, replaced by Bruce Dickenson.

Saw a picture of him recently. Looked terrible. Many of these old rockers get cancer or other diseases after so many years of body abuse.

As for Valenzuela, I heard he recently had to leave the Dodger Spanish broadcasts, so something was definitely going on.

I caught an in game ball off fernies bat which i have to this day. He was a decent hitter as well. The ball was a foul pop up off 1st base.

Paul was singing in a wheelchair on stage at the end.

Fernando left the Dodgers broadcasting team in the last couple of weeks of the season. I saw the pic when it was announced, thought it was Maury Wills.
