============================================

Iron Maiden have announced two special Charity shows in London on March 20th and 21st of March at Brixton Academy to help ex-drummer and band mate Clive Burr. These will be the only shows that the band will play
anywhere in the world in 2002.

Clive is suffering from Multiple sclerosis - a disease of unknown cause. At present there is no known cure for MS, although he is helping test new drugs in the hope that his body response may contribute to a cure.

"We were gutted to hear of Clive’s condition" said founding Iron Maiden member Steve Harris. "It must be a very scary prospect for him to face. It seemed natural that we should try and help Clive by trying to improve his future quality of life. We are setting up a special trust, The
Clive Burr MS Trust Fund, and are keen to help him as much as we possibly can"

All profits from the two shows will go to the Clive Burr MS Trust Fund. Most of those involved in the shows, including all band members, their management, agency and promoters, are supplying their services for
nothing to maximise the fund. All merchandising profits will also be donated to the fund.

Says Maiden manager Rod Smallwood, "Maiden has always been a family and, even after all these years, we still consider Clive to be part of that family and as such we feel we should help him in any way possible. We
are sure the fans will agree and add their support to this."
