Did Blaze Bayley leave on his own or was he fired?


Ok, the ultimate question. Did Blaze Bayley leave on his own or did Iron Maidne fire him? Don't get me wrong I love that Bruce Dickinson is back, but I can't anywere if Blaze Bayley left on his own or if he was fired as Iron Maiden's lead vocalist. When he left were there bad feelings or was it a mutial agreement? Please help me with these questions. Thanks!

10 years late for an answer xD but he was asked to leave because he had vocal issues which the band now admit was due to making him sing songs outside of his natural vocal register. Though Blaze Bayley said in an interview he was asked to leave due to them having a reunion though that may just be him not wanting to admit he was asked to leave for singing bad.
