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!

it was mutual consent.sales were not great with blaze.bruce wasn't selling as many as maiden.bruce and steve harris started getting on with each other again.so they got back together-although steve harris did say that if bruce was not interested in rejoining then they would probably have looked for a completely new singer instead of blaze.as far as i know blaze and steve are still friends.

i think that's right! you could check out the official book 'iron maiden-run to the hills' for more info.(make sure you get a recent edition as it was originally published while blaze was still in the band)
